PRU Real-Time I/O Evaluation Reference Design

Description

This reference design is a BeagleBone Black add-on board that allows users get to know TI’s powerful Programmable Real-Time Unit (PRU) core and basic functionality.  The PRU is a low-latency microcontroller subsystem integrated in the Sitara AM335x and AM437x family of devices.  The PRU core is optimized for deterministic: real-time processing: direct access to I/Os and ultra-low-latency requirements.  With LEDs and push buttons for GPIO: audio: a temp sensor: optional character display and more: this add-on board includes schematics: bill of materials (BOM): design files: and design guide to teach the basics of the PRU. 

Features
  • PRU low-latency microcontroller subsystem integrated in Sitara Cortex-A8 based AM335x processor32-Bit RISC architecture: 200 MHz (5 ns) per instruction: single cycle execution: dedicated instruction and data RAM: additional shared RAM: 200 MHz ( 5ns) I/O interfaceBeagleBone Black compatible add-on board includes push buttons: I/O header: basic audio: UART (DB9): HDQ temperature sensor: proto board area: optional 8x2 LCD character displayComplete set of reference materials including schematics: BOM: board design files: and design guide
