Hi Artem, It depends on the protocols. AM437x family has 2 PRU sub system but they are not the symmetrical (one has less internal memory than the other). Which protocols do you want to run? what is your use case?

thank you,
Paula

Hi!

I just want to understand PRU possibilities in general, regardless of protocols.

Hi Artem, I confirmed with developers that we can potentially run Profibus on AM437x ICSS0 (ICSS_L). Other PRU-ICSS Industrial protocols won't fit. No sure if you are interested, but you could also run a motor control in ICSS_L.

thank you,

Paula
