Design

Using the PRUSS functionality of AM335x core for driving an vacuum fluorescent display using a shift register in realtime.

This proposal will have the following:

  • Having PRU control everything once loaded
*  Multiple PRU cores utilized. 
  * Example will have be one driving the display and another incrementing the clock (in seconds).
  • Userspace can also talk to the PRUSS to update data in almost real time.
  • Explaining why SPI transfers, GPIO bit banging doesn't work with applications like these.

Software

All PRU source is available on GitHub[1]

Currently the userspace utility code exists but final demo will have the clock being ran completely from PRUSS and not touching outside of it at all.
