Hey Bas, Quick side question: was wondering if you're able to run any PRU related test apps? I have an application that needs xenomai and the PRU(s) and had a hard time getting the standard-available debian eMMC image to play with xenomai and the pru nicely. I was able to quickly modify the cloud9-Angstrom build and add both xenomai where the pru module loads and ran the example apps fine, so off I went that route (with everything working except hdmi--ok for now). Debian offers some nice compatibility with folks I work with that use ROS, but don't want to about-face finding that I can't get xenomai or the PRU to work right...
