Great.

What advantage would you gain in re-writing the application? As far as I
understood the problem is with the mmap implementation. That won't
change by re-writing a demo application.

mmap in RTEMS is always a bit tricky. Basically everything that goes
beyond returning a pointer to a fixed memory location will get tricky. I
don't know the topic exactly. But I would expect that for the PRU
drivers mmap just has to just return a pointer to a fixed location.

Regarding the FreeBSD ticket you linked:

- It seems to be an old and closed one (from 2017). So I would assume
that FreeBSD already has that one implemented. Did you check that? Did
you check whether libbsd uses a recent enough commit to pull the patch in?

- I'm not sure why you think that ticket has something to do with mmap.
The only change in ti_pruss_mmap is that it returns an error value that
is more useful than before.

Best regards

Christian
