I've implemented a forth language for the PRU to facilitate one of my own projects. It is available for others to use on github in hopes that someone may find it useful.
https://github.com/biocode3D/prufh Prufh will allow you to write code for the PRU in Forth<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language)>. This has the advantage of easier coding and debugging. Because of the way it uses data memory (and the nature of Forth) it also may allow you to write larger programs than would be feasible in assembly language. The potential disadvantages are that code will usually be somewhat slower and it is more difficult to calculate execution times. Depending on how you need to use PRU, it may well be easier learn the basics of the Forth language in order to use prufh than to write everything in assembly. But if there is anyone out there that already knows forth and needs to use the PRU subsystem, I'm sure you'll like it. Yes, of course, a C compiler would be useful to more people; but I'm not capable of writing a C compiler in ~500 lines of perl ;-) -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
