AM62x PRU Academy goes live for BeaglePlay and PocketBeagle 2. Jun 10, 2026 - by Giorgio Mendoza 61 views Texas Instruments and BeagleBoard.org have announced that the AM62x and AM26x PRU Academy is now available, adding new learning material for developers working with BeaglePlay and PocketBeagle 2. The PRU, or Programmable Real-Time Unit, is a deterministic 32-bit RISC core found in several TI Sitara and Jacinto devices. It is designed for low-latency I/O control and can operate alongside the main processor cores, making it useful for applications that require precise timing, direct hardware access, or real-time peripheral control. - ADVERTISEMENT - The AM62x PRU Academy is available through TI's Resource Explorer under the AM62x Academy training section. Its introductory material explains the PRU subsystem, the PRUSS architecture, and related getting-started resources. AM62x PRU Academy index (click image to enlarge) The course also includes five Getting Started Labs that walk users through the basic development workflow. These cover project creation, writing code in C or assembly, compiling the output, loading and initializing the PRU, and debugging the application. Additional hardware-focused sections cover PRU cores, clock frequencies, I/O, GPIO, pinmux configuration, the interrupt controller, memory, broadside accelerators, and available...
