PRUCAPE

The PRUCAPE is a BeagelBone Black PRU expansion card. This add-on board allows users get to know powerful programmable real time unit (PRU) core and basic functionality. The PRU is a low latency microcontroller subsystem integrated in Sitara AM335x and AM437x family of devices. The PRU core is optimized for deterministic, real time processing, direct access to I/Os and ultra low latency requirements. It includes LEDs and push buttons for GPIO, audio and temp sensor. Together the BeagleBone Black and PRUCAPE are an ideal EVM solution to begin PRU development on the Sitara platform. PRU core is optimized for deterministic, real time processing, direct access to I/Os and ultra low latency requirements.
