Re: [beagleboard] File writing from PRU

Been using emulators for 32 years in industry if you exclude debugging linux( printf is common) and look at bare metal or RTOS which many hard real time systems use you save time. IMO toggle gpio and printf is like erasing and programming eepeoms 30 years ago. Sure it works for applications but

Re: [beagleboard] File writing from PRU

Thanks Charles. I agree that it seems to be impossible to write to the ARM file system. I wanted to do it to get better diagnostic information while I am debugging my PRU firmware. I'm finding that turning on outputs when I reach certain sections of firmware is growing tiresome. I might try
