PRU remoteproc1 and 2 missing

[Cheng Chen]

Hi, 

I am just learning Beaglebone and have set up a Debian 10 image on a recently purchased Beaglebone Black wireless. 

I am following the Molloy's book chapter 15 to learn PRU. 

However, it seems rproc module has not loaded the PRU.

Is there an additional step to allow use of the PRUs? What should I look at to debug this issue? Thanks in advance.

Attached is the /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh output

U-Boot is too old, please run:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install bb-u-boot-am335x-evm
cd /opt/u-boot/bb-u-boot-am335x-evm/
sudo ./install.sh
sudo reboot
```

Kernel is too old, please run:

```
sudo /opt/scripts/tools/update_kernel.sh
```

> pkg:[bb-cape-overlays]:[4.14.20200403.0-0rcnee0~buster+20200403

too old:

```
sudo apt install --only-upgrade bb-cape-overlays bb-customizations
```

Finally , reboot, everything should now work..

First or Second edition?

Might be relevant -- you are running a 4.19.x kernel, but loading 4.14
PRU RPROC firmware...

Hi Dennis, 

I am following second edition. 

I actually tried both 4.14  and 4.19. Either of them does not work. 

But it looks like Robert's comment solves the issue. Thanks for your suggestion though.

Regards,

Cheng

Ah, missed that.. Yeah, it "should not have worked". ;)

change:

uboot_overlay_pru=/lib/firmware/AM335X-PRU-RPROC-4-14-TI-00A0.dtbo

to

uboot_overlay_pru=/lib/firmware/AM335X-PRU-RPROC-4-19-TI-00A0.dtbo

in /boot/uEnv.txt

If your booting 4.19.x-ti..
