That's not much data.  I recommend you just make a circular buffer in
the PRU data memory, and run a periodic task on the ARM side to keep the
buffer filled.  Using the 12K shared data ram you can store almost 2 mS
worth of data, which ought to be plenty.  By way of example, the default
Machinekit ARM side thread period is 1 mS and could easily be faster for
something simple like this.

Note you might need an -rt or -xenomai kernel to achieve reliable
operation, I've seen the non-rt kernels occasionally "wander off into
the weeds" for several hundred mS at a time.
