Is there a syntax file for TI's PRUSS assembly language?

Question

Texas Instruments has a custom assembly language for its programmable real-time unit subsystems (PRUSS). TI provides syntax files for Notepad++ and Textpad, but I cannot find any syntax files for Vim. I'd be a bit surprised if no one had made on yet, though.

For now, I'm using ft=c, which is okay but not ideal.

EDIT: There is now a plugin made by copying the syntax file below: https://github.com/laubzega/pruss-vim

Here's my own PRU vim syntax highlighter with instructions:

mkdir ~/.vim/syntax
mkdir ~/.vim/ftdetect

cd ~/.vim/ftdetect
vi pruft.vim

Insert and save the following:

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.p       set filetype=pru
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.hp      set filetype=pru

Return back to your terminal.

cd ~/.vim/syntax
vi pru.vim

Insert and save the following:

Restart your vim session.

The syntax highlighter isn't perfect but good enough for my own use while writing PRU assembler code.
