@TJF on this forum promotes a solution called libpruio that might work.  I 
don't know if it's fast enough though.
I thought libprio was designed to be very fast was my understanding. I Saw in 
TI forum docs that UIO isn't supported in SDK Linux by TI. 
I would definitely agree with below and your math and if the OP can't add I 
don't think he will get anything to work 🤭. He only said he'd reply if you did 
his math for him.🤣
#saw one post on the TI E2E forum that indicated #that Remoteproc/RPMSG is not

think.

As far as getting the conversation to continue maybe TJF will reply.

you've calculated correctly that you can only store 7,168 values in the 28k of 
combined PRU memory and that would only be true if some of the PRU memory 
wasn't used by your PRU program when it's loaded.
So are you trying to find a way to store the data back in the main host memory 
instead?  
Remoteproc/RPMSG can send the data back but I don't think it's fast enough for 
you. I'm doing that now with code written in C.  (It was a bear to learn and 
get going but I'm a rusty guy too. ) I am reading 12-bit AD with the onboard 
ADC (Touchscreen controller in general-purpose mode).    I@TJF on this forum

The only alternative I can think of is declaring variables in your PRU code 
whose address is actually in the main host memory (Linux) space.   I've tried 
to do this using the example in Mark Yoder's PRU Cookbook but I could not get 
it to work.  I decided that I didn't really need that and went another route.


This is a good group so keep the discussion going and maybe we can figure 
something out.

Hello 
Google Am335x  PRU Support package it's got 6 labs and examples including ADC.
It's written for the SDK Linux  Dennis mentioned but people have gotten these 
examples to work with Linux supported in this group
There's also a Support package tar  containing step by step HTML of all the 
labs above preserved from the old wiki.
There's several PDF files supporting all this some are application notes
Getting started with RPMSg on Linux is one 
If you start with these HTML files it's really well written it's a how-to
Labs 1 to 3 require CCS JTAG
The other labs deal with Linux
The ADC example passes samples back to Linux.
For a full blown PID loop using both PRU there's a example code also on GitHub 
preserved from TI support expert Nick.
The PRU support package 5.8 code on GitHub or wherever get it in the examples 
shows linker commands for using shared RAM.
The concept in any book of accessing these has more to do with pragma or 
compliler specific linker commands in gcc should not change 
Every book or cookbook or tutorial ever written was all this data I pointed you 
to explained by an experienced engineer's using TI wiki Data
That my opinion.
Remember this  stuff will talk about building code from command line in the 4G 
SDK which requires a native Ubuntu box or a virtual box Ubuntu on windows 7. 
Officially vbox support isn't suppored anymore but I got it working recently 
only tested windows 7
All this discussion can be found by googling " PRU ADC beaglebone" also many 
discussion on E2E forum replace Beaglebone with 2E
I'd suggest reading that getting started first

Or use Mark Yoder's cookbook which is web-based compilation on the board 
itself. I have not tried that
Lastly if you take the Apple's and Oranges approach which is taking the source 
code I mentioned and trying to follow the cookbook web based compilation. Most 
people seem to fail trying this I don't recommend it 
Pick one approach

Good luckMark

    Difficult -- somehow your added comments are formatted as quoted text
(ie, my comments).

    The PRU itself only runs at 200MHz, and you have to account for how
many instructions are needed to run your ADC-start, read, store, notify
host logic.

It does warn that Remote Proc/rpmsg is fairly new (at the time of the book)
and that things might change. Unfortunately TI has changed its document
access, so the links in the 2nd edition book don't work. Most of the
documentation seems to be at
http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/docs/latest/linux/Foundational_Components_PRU-ICSS_PRU_ICSSG.html#remoteproc-and-rpmsg
(note: processor SDK -- TI's raw OS build system).

    The examples are the simple Blink LED until Button Pressed; a PWM
generator, Ultrasonic distance sensor.

>> Thanks for the DSP lead...that is awesome as well.

    On the BB AI -- and not much information has appeared on programming


them.
