How to run C programs on the BeagleBone's PRU microcontroller

my dream for the beagle bone was to be able to develop for the PRU (and why not cpu) from within the very linux distro running on the beagle itself.

just give me a gcc and header files.

all those IDEs will do nothing other than drive away novice and experienced devs alike. only the ones that evaluated every other option and still think you hardware is the best will stick around. and for the beagle, a fully hobbyist board with no dream of being used in a product, that amounts to nobody.

You can compile for the PRU from within the linux on the BeagleBone itself, see kens' comments about /usr/bin/clpru below.

There are many experienced devs that worked on both sides of the fence and rather use an IDE than CLI.
