Welcome!

Michael indicated you might be doing some work on a HAL component to
talk to the BeagleBone GPIO.  I'm currently working on PRU code to do
step/dir generation and PWM/delta-sigma modulation of I/O pins.  I
think as long as you use the set and clear registers for updating the
GPIO, there won't be any "cross-talk" issues between the HAL
component, the PRU, and anything else that might be using the GPIO.

Awesome!  My day job is hardware design for live HD video editing
equipment (the NewTek TriCaster line, if you've heard of it).

Very cool...I wanted to build a plane, but I wound up having kids
first!  :)

I am also lacking in C skills (I code mostly in VHDL), but even so I
have managed to add some bits here and there for LinuxCNC (PRU
assembly and even a bit of C code to talk to PCI).  Just dive in and
tackle whatever itch you want to scratch!  :)
