Most BeagleBone projects these days are using I2C for LCD interfacing, which would free up those pins.
It looks like Elias Bakken has updated the PyPRUSS repo to support direct DDR streaming to and from a userland Python process and the PRU, so it's no longer just a simple interface for flashing the PRU's firmware: https://bitbucket.org/intelligentagent/pypruss/src/68e28438612893cbd157d97b93c3079ec684cd63/examples/ddr_loop?at=master ________________________________________ From: Charles Steinkuehler [char...@steinkuehler.net] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2013 10:53 AM To: EMC developers Cc: Eric Keller Subject: Re: [Emc-developers] BeagleBone question -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 2/5/2013 9:47 AM, Eric Keller wrote: > On Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 10:32 AM, Charles Steinkuehler < > char...@steinkuehler.net> wrote:Actually, the BeagleBone is $89. > I'm not sure what developer kit Gene > >> it referring to.

TI: http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdssk3358 Note that the LCD shares pins with the PRU1 I/O pins, so you mostly can't use the available LCD/DVI/HDMI interfaces w/o giving up a bunch of PRU pins. :( - -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlERKuEACgkQLywbqEHdNFxyPACg2xIiualAz24UprQzFGqTHQe8 imwAoNsjUg4/udaF1Nf6Tu/dCYIQbBSv =f6Gx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
