Feedback requested for VisualPRU: Browser-based Editor and Debugger for the BBB PRUs

Former Member

Hi All!

 

I recently made a tool to make programming the BeagleBone Black PRUs a little easier. It's a browser-based editor and debugging tool which is designed to be easier-to-use than the current options. I have a few ideas for next steps(setting breakpoints, modifying memory registers, viewing chunks in DDR RAM, leading pre-built libraries, etc..).

 

More details and installation instructions are on Github: https://github.com/mmcdan/visualpru

 

It's still in the early stages. Right now, I'm mainly looking for feedback from PRU users... suggestions for improvements, feature requests, issues you've encountered, or if you'd even use a tool like this.

 

Thanks!

Michael

    Yes! Screenshot and explanation below: - The upper header bar allows you to choose which PRU you are targeting and shows their current status. If you're working on an application where the PRUs collaborate…

    This looks nice! I'm excited to try it out, although sadly it may be a few weeks before I can find some time for this. I think fustini will be interested too.

    Hi Michael,

     

    This is exactly what we need at the moment, I followed all steps and got the PRU connected, load a .p file and click Save&Compile, nothing happens but a flash on screen. The console that runs python script does say COMPILE, waiting to receive. And I have nothing showing on the right side of the web page for compilation output. Any idea?

     

    Thanks,
