New PRU support: rpmsg? #40

It seems TI has broken uio_pruss in favor of its new PRU RPM stuff, starting with RCN's 4.1.11-ti kernels. Recently John Syne patched the BBB kernel to fix some issues. I wonder if LEDscape will be updated to use this new mechanism?

I personally don't have plans to make that upgrade for the time being, but I am open to pull requests.

JetForMe commented 8 years ago

Okay, I'll investigate how to use it.

JetForMe commented 8 years ago

I just thought you (or maybe I should mention to the original authors) might want to make sure it works in the newer kernels.

If you have the bandwidth, I'm absolutely in favor of having compatibility with the new communication scheme, and would welcome documentation, research, POCs or full-on pull requests you have.
