from the BeagleBone/PRU rumor mill:

- TI might free a gcc-based C compiler for the PRU

- There is an alternative interface to the PRU in the works (instead of pruss 
this uses the more sophisticated remoteproc interface, which is used for 
hooking in diverse external processors like DSP's)

- the log below contains hints at an issue with the current pruss driver and 
memory coherency (which does not affect LinuxCNC but being one reason for pruss 
being replaced)

here is an example: https://github.com/pantoniou/testpru - I understand from 
Pantelis that the PRU code in this example would be generated by that mythical 
compiler as an ELF format (which pasm, which we currently use, does not 
generate)

that combination could lower the bar for PRU applications substantially below 
'Steinkuehler-grade' ;)
 
an IRC log is here http://static.mah.priv.at/public/beagle-irc.txt, the 
beagleboard.org IRC log is days behind

the community factoid digging happens here - see posts near bottom of:
