I think the C looks more confusing than the assembly, but I understand there are folks who feel compelled to write micro-controller code in a high-level language. :) It definitely opens the door to more users. > 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 Looks very interesting. The methods they're using to pass data around could be quite handy for our use, as long as we can do them in userland. We might also be able to allocate some buffer memory and get that locked in place and flagged properly as non-cacheable and side-step the issue that way.
