Feb 26 19:40:16 <praked[m]> <praked[m] "Thanks for the info, I went thro"> Hi, thanks for the help again, found your articles on PRU very helpful during my introductory reading. I have some understanding of the project "GPIO-based Parallel Bi-Directional Bus"
Feb 26 19:41:27 <praked[m]> I am going to describe what have I am understood till now, please correct me where ever I am wrong.
Feb 26 19:48:48 <praked[m]> The project involves hardware design, which involves making shift registers(Still confused are we going to design the shift registers or going to use some of-the-shelf IC , I am confortable with both).
Feb 26 19:55:31 <praked[m]> The software side involves programming kernel driver to communicate with the bus and a userspace application using ioctl() ,using PRU for all the latching and clk signals as well as reading /writing data
Feb 26 20:04:20 <praked[m]> I am still not sure how this going to differentiate between I2c and UART which both use two wire interfaces.
Feb 26 20:08:53 <praked[m]> Also, We can multiplex all the latch pins using a  single PRU GPO pin. hence we can reduce the no. of pins used. That would mean that something similar to the SN54F299 shift registers can be used to make a 8 pin interface using only 4 pins.
Feb 26 20:11:48 <praked[m]> i.e. CLR, S1, S2 and (OE 1&2) controlled using a GPO and 1 GPIO each for CLK , IN and OUT
