The PRU HAL driver for the beaglebone is intentionally very similar to the Mesa hostmot2 HAL driver. I recommend you start with one of the Mesa lathe example configurations and swap the driver name to use the PRU. You will also need to add pin numbers, since the PRU driver can use arbitrary pins (vs. a Mesa card which has pre-assigned pins for the various functions).
