Ultimate power control using the am335x_pru_package - any experience

Looking into applications of the new 3358 Soc, I am considering to control the power of the board using the PRU which should reside on the chip. I have looked at some of the documentation here [url]https://github.com/beagleboard/am335x_pru_package[/url]

But it seems to may a notch over my skill level, has anyone any hints as to make it easier to turn off most peripherals of the board and then wait for an interrupt or timer - for then to boot and do more complex stuff.

are there any existing single board computers that already has this assistance processing unit you know of?
