feat: weight_tile_gather.v, real synthesizable byte-to-tile adapter (EXP-0061)
Closes the gap EXP-0058 left testbench-only: assembling P_IN sequential layer_weight_buffer.v byte reads into one weight_data tile bus, as real RTL instead of a testbench driver task. Avoids the runtime-indexed-part-select anti-pattern already found and fixed once in neural_director.v (ERR-0027-class Fmax collapse) by using a fixed shift-concat instead. Verified in isolation against a real, unmodified layer_weight_buffer.v: 37/37 tests, 0 errors, bit-exact across sequential, back-to-back, and non-sequential/repeated (real reuse-position-style) access patterns. Full writeup in hardware/v2/logs/experiments.log EXP-0061. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01MUG92aM9m68TRc4rG55BcC

|
||||
// adapter' (8:1 byte-to-tile packer) would be the natural next M4
|
||||
// Memory Manager deliverable if this architecture is adopted for the
|
||||
// real board" -- tb_neural_processor_layer_reuse.v did this step in
|
||||
// the testbench only, not in RTL).
|
||||
//
|
||||
// Sits between layer_weight_buffer.v's byte-wide read port (one
|
||||
// address = one byte) and neural_processor_packed.v's P_IN-wide
|
||||
// weight_data tile bus. Sequences P_IN reads, one byte/cycle, and
|
||||
// assembles them via a FIXED (compile-time-constant) shift-concat --
|
||||
// deliberately NOT a runtime-indexed part-select into the wide
|
||||
// tile_data register. This project has already been bitten by that
|
||||
// exact anti-pattern twice (neural_director.v's own slot_x_base_r
|
||||
// fix, ERR-0027-class: a variable-indexed write into a wide packed
|
||||
// register synthesizes as a real hard-multiplier-fed crossbar, real
|
||||
// measured Fmax collapse 68.51->~40-47MHz) -- avoided here from the
|
||||
// start rather than found and fixed later.
|

// Byte read at tile_base+i lands at tile_data[i*DATA_WIDTH +:
|

// DATA_WIDTH] (i=0 is the FIRST byte read, ends at the LSB end) --
|
||||
// matches neural_processor_packed.v's own w0[gi] <=
|

// weight_data[gi*DATA_WIDTH +: DATA_WIDTH] indexing exactly.
|
