Reference Design For A GPIO-based Parallel Bi-Directional Bus
Project name: Reference Design For A GPIO-based Parallel Bi-Directional Bus

Date : 31 May 2019

 * First I made an introductory youtube video of my project
 * Purchased hardware related to this project like 8-bit logic analzer ,logic level converter
 * Understand about the code structure on making kernel module Beagleboard and understanding the beaglelogic code docs
 * Read a little bit about kernel module development from this page.

Date : 1 June 2019

 * Till now made the circuit based on the GitHub link withh shift register circuit diagram.
 * Made the circuit for testing the board see the circuit drive link
 * Further work is to implement first user space program then PRU assembly code program.
 * completed studing kernel module developnment from site as suggested by my mentor and further looking into makefile

I think i should also include blocker and goals in my further work


 * Till Now
 * Today I studied more about kernel module development and try to understand the code base starting from docs, then kernel folder and firmware folder
 * Try to complete the first week commitment of making the video for the different interfacing circuit but faces some problem due to less understanding assembly code in PRU
 * As i was working earlier in the User space so i was comfortable to make the program their but i want to submit the video and code with the assembly code
 * Blockers:
 * During navigating through the code of beaglelogic .asm file are less understandable for me.
 * Less understaning of the PRU assembly code to tackle that i watched again pru video from beagle bone site.
 * came across a github page during my search for barebone pru programming on pocket_beagle_samples
 * And downloaded the Sitara PRU but it was too big to be understable to me.

 * facing some problem on my past mage so installing fresh image
 * reflashing every thing as their are different error in the file are are coming while following the guide by https://www.element14.com/community/community/designcenter/single-board-computers/next-gen_beaglebone//blog/2013/05/22/bbb--working-with-the-pru-icssprussv2
 * starting every thing from new
 * unable to install the library from the site
