I too am looking for a general purpose SUART implemented on the PRU. I have 
your code and am looking at modifying it. Can you explain what the current 
code does exactly? I understand that it is interfacing with the GPS and 
then interupts the linux side but I don't understand what the PRU assembly 
is looking for to trigger that interrupt?

Also what do your labels mean exactly?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
