I take that back. The last thing I saw I thought was cool was this: https://github.com/boxysean/beaglebone-DMX But also done in 2013 it seems. Matt R also had a github project working with ws28xx serial type LEDs. But it's probably very similar to boxysean's DMX project. Just a different serial pr

Back on topic. I wonder if it wouldn't be simpler, and easier for everyone if someone where to just write / create a setup script for both options. It's been a while, so I do not recall the finer details with each process. But I can say while I do not know everything, I'm also not a novice Linux u

So, here are my thoughts about all that. Not that what I say really means a whole lot. Other than it's just another opinion. In all honestly, I do not really care what goes on with the TI kernels. Ti's views with what is enabled, and how it's enabled does not really jibe with the way I personally

I had the PRU's working with an 4.x kernel around 4-5 months ago. Basically I downloaded Jason's PRU github files, and got two of the examples working. Back then, you could only use the older UIO PRU source examples with the *bone* kernel, as TI's kernel was remoteproc only. Now days, supposedly it

Once you get it working on the old stuff, come back and ask how to get it moved forward. It is pretty easy once you know your PRU code is working. With the remote-proc driver, you can throw the built .elf files into /lib/firmware and trigger them to load by the kernel, without needing to have a li

Hi Mike, As Greg said, PRU development is severely hampered by incomplete, out-dated, and mutually-exclusive sets of instructions. Derek Molloy's book may be based on an older Beaglebone Black, but at least it's self-contained and consistent. I struggled for a long time to get the PRU working o
