Usage(simppru)

simppru [OPTION...] FILE

      --device=<device_name> Select for which BeagleBoard to compile
                             (pocketbeagle, bbb, bbbwireless, bbai)
      --load                 Load generated firmware to /lib/firmware/
  -o, --output=<file>        Place the output into <file>
  -p, --pru=<pru_id>         Select which pru id (0/1) for which program is to
                             be compiled
      --verbose              Enable verbose mode (dump symbol table and ast
                             graph)
      --preprocess           Stop after generating the intermediate C
                             file (located at /tmp/temp.c)
  -t  --test                 Use stub functions for PRU specific functions and
                             enable the print functions, useful for testing and debugging
  -?, --help                 Give this help list

  -V, --version              Print program version

Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional
for any corresponding short options.

simppru autodetects BeagleBoard model and automatically configures pin mux using config-pin. This functionality doesn’t work on BeagleBone Blue and AI.

Say we have to compile a example file called test.sim, command will be as follows:

simppru test.sim --load

If we only want to generate binary for pru0

simppru test.sim -o test_firmware -p 0

this will generate a file named test_firmware.pru0
