It's a race condition..

When the pru-rproc module (or built-in) loads it looks for the
firmware files. While they are on the filesystem at /lib/firmware/,
the file system isn't fully loaded, thus they aren't really available.

By running:

sudo update-initramfs -uk `uname -r`

The am335x-pru0-fw/am335x-pru1-fw files will be coped into the initrd,
that way they'll be available for pru-rproc right away, thus no longer
depended on the rootfs being up..

Here is the update-initramfs hook-functions that does the coping:

PS, this also has a side affect, make sure you re-run:

sudo update-initramfs -uk `uname -r` ; sudo reboot

on "every" pruX-fw modification, as the initrd will always have the
"last" version...
