ok, no interface.

I just compiled devmem2 and it seems to work. I did silly modifications.
The code is here: http://euriscom.it/data/dm2.c
(forget the first comment lines, they are poor, I did not intend to 
share this, it is my working copy)

if i run it:
---------------------------------
#> ./dm2 0x44e10998 b
/dev/mem opened.
Memory mapped at address 0x20221000.
Value at address 0x44E10998 (0x20221998): 0x5
---------------------------------

Whic corresponds to what i wrote in the DTO.
-----
            pru_pru_pins: pinmux_pru_pru_pins {
                       pinctrl-single,pins = <
                           // 0x1a4 0x05   /* P9.27 pr1_pru0_pru_r30_5, 
Mode 5 output pull-down   */
                           0x19c 0x26   /* P9.28 pr1_pru0_pru_r31_3, 
Mode 6 input pull-down    */
                           0x198 0x05    /* PRU0-2 -- P9.30 -- 
pr1_pru0_pru_r30_2 ... se in MODE-5  */
                           >;
                   };
-----

This is the only test i made but it seems improbable I got the same 
value by chance;)

It goes without saying that I don't understand all what i wrote,
so, i could be boldly wrong ;)

If it turns out it works let me know, i can make the port.

bye
n.
