Hi All,
I'm running Arch Linux on my BBB, so no remoteproc for me :-( when working with
the PRU.
In my setup I'm developing a shared library that loads a simple PRU program via
a unittest to verify if it works. Because I work with prussdrv the program
should be run with sudo. If that it is the case the shared library can't be
found, so I have to export LD_LIBRARY=../lib/ for my super user. Now debugging
works for unit test, but as soon as I have to step into the code of the shared
library, it doesn't show the code, so I can't figure out where my program hangs.
If anybody knows how to load a PRU firmware with out being root it is much
preferred.
I'm currently executing gdbserver with the following command:
su --command="export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib && gdbserver localhost:8080
./runTests"
My current code is one of the most basic pieces just to load a PRU program,
which toggles a pin, to drive a steppermotor, but I can't see any a pattern on
my scope, so I assume it doesn't get load, which I can't verify.

volatile register unsigned int __R31, __R30;
int main(void)

unsigned int i;
for (i = 0; i < 200; i++) {

__delay_cycles(60000000);
__R30 = __R30 & ~(1 << 5); // LOW

Fragment of the UnitTest (Google test) (This code I can step through with my
IDE):
TEST(Controller, PRU_Toggle) {
using namespace oCpt::components::controller;
using namespace oCpt;
World::ptr world = World::ptr(new World());
BBB::ptr controller = BBB::ptr(new BBB(world));
BBB *bbb = static_cast<BBB*>(controller.get());
bbb->loadPRUfirmware(1,"./SonarArray.out");
}
Fragment of the Shared library:
void BBB::loadPRUfirmware(const unsigned int &number, const std::string
&firmwareLocation) {
//Initialize structure used by prussdrv_pruintc_intc
tpruss_intc_initdata pruss__intc_initdata = PRUSS_INTC_INITDATA;
//Allocate and initialize memory
prussdrv_init();
prussdrv_open(PRU_EVTOUT0);
//Map PRU's interrupts
prussdrv_pruintc_init(&pruss__intc_initdata);
//Load and execute the PRU program on the PRU
prussdrv_exec_program(number, firmwareLocation.c_str());
// Wait for event completion from PRU, returns PRU_EVTOUT_0 number
//int n = prussdrv_pru_wait_event(PRU_EVTOUT0);
//prussdrv_pru_disable(number);
//prussdrv_exit();
}
Any help is much appreciated
best regards,
Jelle
