Python bindings for TI PRUSS driver

PyPRUSS

PyPRUSS is a Python binding for controlling the PRUs on BeagleBone.

For examples and inspiration: http://hipstercircuits.com/?cat=5

To install:

git clone https://[email protected]/intelligentagent/pypruss.git  
cd pypruss
python setup.py install
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib  

Note that you must load the uio_pruss kernel module. There is a function for loading and unloading this in the library called modprobe() with an optional argument for the DDR size. To do it manually its "modprobe uio_pruss". This must be done on every boot.

Update: It appears there is trouble with the pasm compiler. The following might not work..

To try the blinkled example:

cd PyPRUSS/examples/blinkled  
make  
python blinkled.py  

You should then see three of the user leds blink 10 times.

There are a few other examples in there as well, have a look at them for other functions.

README with Bad Link

It appears that the link in the README has gone bad. When I clicked on it, it redirected me to https://private.superappbox.com/wim/lp/lp52/1/index_61.php which had some sketchy stuff on it and was publishing a sketchy chrome extension.

The link that appears to have gone bad is: http://hipstercircuits.com/?cat=5

I'd recommend removing the link because it appears to link to what might be malware.
