Ti AM33XX PRUSSv2
The PRUSS (Programmable Real-time Unit Sub System) consists of two 32-bit 200MHz real-time cores, each with 8KB of program memory and direct access to general I/O. These cores are connected to various data memories, peripheral modules and an interrupt controller for access to the entire system-on-a-chip via a 32-bit interconnect bus.
PRUs are programmed in Assembly, with most commands executing in a single cycle with no caching or pipe-lining, allowing for 100% predictable timings. At 200Mhz, a single cycle will always take 5ns (nanoseconds) to execute.

Per PRU
- 8KB program memory
- Memory used to store instructions and static data AKA Instruction Memory (IRAM). This is the memory in which PRU programs are loaded.
- Enhanced GPIO (EGPIO)
- High-speed direct access to 16 general purpose output and 17 general purpose input pins for each PRU.
- PRU0
- pr1_pru_0_pru_r30[15:0] (PRU0 Register R30 Outputs)
- pr1_pru_0_pru_r31[16:0] (PRU0 Register R31 Inputs)
- PRU1
- pr1_pru_1_pru_r30[15:0] (PRU1 Register R30 Outputs)
- pr1_pru_1_pru_r31[16:0] (PRU1 Register R31 Inputs)
- various caputure modes
- A 32-bit multiply and accumulate unit (MAC)
- Enables single-cycle integer multiplications with a 64-bit overflow (useful for decimal results).
- 8KB data memory
- Memory used to store dynamic data. Is accessed over the 32-bit bus and so not single-cycle.
- One PRU may access the memory of another for passing information but it is recommend to use scratch pad or shared memory, see below.
- Scratch pad
- 3 banks of 30 32-bit registers (total 90 32-bit registers).
- Single-cycle access, can be accessed from either PRU for data sharing and signalling or for individual use.
- 12KB data memory
- Accessed over the 32-but bus, not single-cycle.
