Status of PRUSS control on the Webkit2/B2G Browser

Based on the Qt5 webkit2/ B2G work on AM335x, an effort is made to run Python based PRU control from within a browser (for js support).

Current status:

1. Unable to get brython to load pypruss module (.so) as it looks only for .js files. This seems to be a limitation of brython.
   
2. Unable to get PRU basic examples to run, as no interrupt seems to occur from PRU, even with normal Python run. This must be a solvable problem as there are examples out there in the wild, confirmed working.
   
   Minor patches over pypruss are available at,
   
   https://github.com/prabindh/brypruss

Dependencies:

1. Qt5 Webkit2 (Refer http://www.gpupowered.org/node/15), or B2G browser
   
2. AM335x platform - either EVM/SK/ or Beaglebone
   
3. Kernel compiled with below options
   
   CONFIG_UIO=y
   CONFIG_UIO_PRUSS=y
   
   
4. pypruss package from

https://intelligentagent@bitbucket.org/intelligentagent/pypruss.git

5. Brython package from

http://brython.info/index_en.html


How to run:

After ensuring regular run via Python invocation works, try it on browser.
Place all the required files (.bin, .so) in same folder of Brython.

$$ cd Brython
$$ QtTestBrowser -platform minimalegl ./pru-test.html
