Hello all!

I have been working on a code where in which I use the interrupt 
PRU_EVTOUT_1 as a heartbeat from the PRU to the host. Currently, however, I 
have not been able to clear the interrupt so that it can be sent again. A 
(partial) minimal example is found below. As it is, the code does not work 
(for me at least... maybe I'm doing something stupid). This code works when 
PRU_EVTOUT_1 is replaced by PRU_EVTOUT_0 or when PRU0_ARM_INTERRUPT is 
replaced by PRU1_ARM_INTERRUPT.

I edited prussdrv.c to find out where the issue is coming from and it seems 
that the wrong bit is cleared in SECR1 using the values below. That is:

- when I send PRU0_R31_VEC_VALID | PRU_EVTOUT_0, I get SERC1 = 0x80000, 
which is correctly cleared by PRU0_ARM_INTERRUPT = 19
- when I send PRU0_R31_VEC_VALID | PRU_EVTOUT_1, I get SERC1 = 0x100000, 
which is correctly cleared by PRU1_ARM_INTERRUPT = 20

That makes sense given that PRU0_R31_VEC_VALID | PRU_EVTOUT_1 = 
PRU1_ARM_INTERRUPT 
+ 16. The second form is found in the example codes for prussdrv, whereas 
the first one is used in Derek Molloy's EBB (ultrasonic example, chapter 
13).

Is PRU_EVTOUT_1 from PRU0 the same as sending PRU_EVTOUT_0 from PRU1? That 
seems odd, but I wasn't able to figure it out from the reference guide. I 
must be doing something wrong, I just don't know what!

Any help is appreciated! I am using the latest version of the 
am335x_pru_package (built directly from the repository).

Cheers!
