AM2634: PRU cycle counter stops when 0xFFFF FFFFreached

Part Number: AM2634


Dear TI support service,

I am developing a program to generate a simple xy2 100 stream through the PRU0 of an AM2634 chip.

To do so, I use the time base from the PRU's cycle counter.

Unfortunately, it seems that the counter stops when the maximum value 0xFFFF FFFF is reached.

I patched the behavior resetting the counter and enabling again the counting when the threshold is reached, but I would ask:

  • is it possible to enable the rollover of the cycle counter?
  • is there any other way to handle the cycle counter rollover?

Best regards and many thanks for your help
