BeagleBone PRU DMA

Most of existing PRU applications utilize (waste) one PRU core for data transfer. The goal of this project is to enable usage of EDMA controller for copying of data to and from main memory (DDR), which would allow applications to use both cores for computation.

Experience and approach

TBD

I have previous experience with BeagleBone and other embedded HW. I know Linux kernel internals and am able to quickly grasp new concepts.

Contingency

TBD

Research kernel documentation, look in PRU and AM335x manuals, seek for answers on IRC/mailnig list

Benefit

TBD
