Hello list,

I'm a great fan of FreeBSD and was very glad to see, that FreeBSD 
supports the beaglebone black. Even the PRUs, which I want to put into 
operation, are supported by FreeBSD. But unfortunately i do not have a 
clue, how the driver is intended to be used. For linux there is some 
API/docu to load/start/stop and communicate with the PRU.

Did anyone put the PRUs already into operation with FreeBSD and could 
give me a hint how this is done?

Many thanks in advance
Manuel
