BeagleBone/PrussDemoSubmission

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, and GPIO bit banging doesn't work with applications like these.
