I just ran across BBIOConfig (https://github.com/strahlex/BBIOConfig) Very cool and easy to understand. I saw there was a utility config-pin for setting up the pin configuration. Does this work on BBB 3.14 now? Is there an apt-get install package that will install it? -- For more options, visit

I think you will run into concurrency issues. The operations to increment the buffer need to be atomic, but they are not. While you perform the read / add / modulus / write in the Arm, then PRU can add a new message and change the value. The ring buffer can get corrupt. I would set a flag in

I know config-pin will solve a lot of the pain of mapping IO pins / features. The BBIOConfig Qt GUI for allocating the pins looks very slick. I'm looking forward to the release of the working versions. :) The example you linked looks like the interface configuration for Microchip's RTC I2C

If you can stand bit-banking, the BBB has perfect resources designed specifically for that task. You have 2 PRU cores (200mhz, 8k memory + 8k program + 16k shared memory with main CPU each) It is perfect for bit-banging in a separate process. You can mux the GPIO pins to the PRU for processing

I think you are on to something here. The radio device records at 96000. It won't record at any other rate. The playback device only plays back at 48000. It won't play at 96000. It looks like the player down-converts the sample rate. If I record and pipe it to aplay with -v on, it plays a pop
