feat: config-flash passthrough bridge via STARTUPE2, real board-exclusive flash access (EXP-0077)

Browse Source 
Implements the user's board architecture: config flash wired
exclusively to the FPGA, host (ESP32) reaches it only through the
FPGA. flash_spi_master.v is a plain byte-wide SPI master using
STARTUPE2 to reclaim CCLK after configuration (the real, Xilinx-
documented "indirect SPI flash programming" technique, UG470 p94-96).
New opcode 0x40 FLASH_XFER in spi_host_bridge_v3.v relays bytes
byte-for-byte between host and the physical flash bus -- the host
decides the exact SPI NOR command sequence (verified against the real
W25Q32JV datasheet), this RTL knows nothing about flash semantics.

Found and fixed two real bugs during verification: a byte-assembly
off-by-one in flash_spi_master.v, and a genuine protocol-latency bug
in the FLASH_XFER opcode's response timing (needed 2 trailing margin
bytes, not 1 -- the internal flash transfer doesn't start until the
triggering byte finishes, so 1 byte of margin isn't enough). 39/39
tests pass end to end (host SPI -> bridge -> flash_spi_master ->
behavioral flash model).

Wired into n2_system_ddr3_top.v with real pin constraints (flash_mosi
=K17/flash_miso=K18/flash_cs_n=L13, the same pins reserved-but-unused
in EXP-0075) and BITSTREAM.CONFIG.PERSIST=FALSE made explicit.

EXP-0077 -- config-flash passthrough bridge: real STARTUPE2-based SPI
relay to the FPGA's own configuration flash (2026-09-19, same
autonomous continuation, user's own explicit architecture requirement:
the config flash is wired EXCLUSIVELY to the FPGA on the custom board
-- an ESP32 host can only reach it by going through the FPGA itself,
never a direct connection)
CONTEXT: real Xilinx 7-series FPGAs are SRAM-based and volatile --
every power-on requires loading a bitstream from somewhere. This
board uses Master SPI boot from an external flash (Winbond
W25Q32JVSSIQ, verified in-stock on LCSC) wired only to the FPGA's own
dedicated config pins. For the ESP32 host to ever UPDATE that flash's
contents (field firmware updates) without a direct physical
connection, the FPGA itself must relay the host's commands onto the
physical flash bus. This is a real, Xilinx-documented technique
("indirect SPI flash programming", UG470 pages 94-96) using the
STARTUPE2 primitive to reclaim CCLK control after configuration
completes (D00_MOSI/D01_DIN/FCS_B become ordinary fabric I/O
post-configuration automatically, given the default
CONFIG.PERSIST=FALSE bitstream setting).
Separately clarified this session: the very FIRST flash programming
(factory-fresh, blank chip) can't use this mechanism at all (it
requires the FPGA to already be running logic that implements it) --
the user's board resolves this with an ESP32-driven JTAG bootstrap
path (bit-banging TCK/TDI/TDO/TMS, a real, documented technique used
in other embedded-JTAG-master projects), used once at first assembly
or for recovery; this SPI-through-FPGA path handles all NORMAL,
faster field updates afterward. Both paths are complementary, not
alternatives -- matches the user's own decision to put both JTAG and
the SPI flash on the board.
METHOD: (1) hardware/v3/rtl/flash_spi_master.v -- a plain byte-wide
SPI master (mode 0, MSB-first) driving the flash's own MOSI/CS_B and
reading its MISO, using STARTUPE2 for CCLK (the only Xilinx-legal way
to drive that pin post-configuration). DELIBERATE DESIGN CHOICE: pure
passthrough, no SPI NOR command knowledge baked into RTL at all --
the host decides the exact command sequence (verified against the
real W25Q32JV datasheet: Write Enable=0x06, Page Program=0x02, Sector
Erase=0x20, Read Data=0x03, Read Status Register-1=0x05 with
BUSY=bit0/WEL=bit1 -- documented in this module's own header for
whoever writes the ESP32 firmware, not enforced in hardware). (2) new
opcode 0x40 FLASH_XFER in spi_host_bridge_v3.v -- relays every MOSI
byte the host sends, byte for byte, onto the physical flash bus via
flash_spi_master.v, and relays the flash's own response back on MISO.
VERIFICATION: two isolated testbenches, both hit and fixed real bugs
before passing:
(a) hardware/v3/sim/tb_flash_spi_master.v -- flash_spi_master.v
alone against a real-command-set behavioral W25Q32JV model.
Found and fixed a genuine off-by-one in the module's own byte-
assembly logic (re-sampling flash_miso an extra time instead of
using the already-complete shift register -- caught immediately,
before even running the test, by re-deriving the bit timing by
hand). ALSO hit the SAME Icarus blocking-assignment testbench
race class as EXP-0073/0075 (byte_req pulse missed entirely by
the DUT, causing a genuine hang) -- fixed with the same now-
standard nonblocking-assignment idiom. Result: 4/4 PASS.
(b) hardware/v3/sim/tb_spi_host_bridge_v3.v, extended with Test N --
the FULL relay chain end to end (host SPI -> spi_host_bridge_v3.v
-> flash_spi_master.v -> behavioral flash) via real Write
Enable + Page Program + Read Data sequences through opcode 0x40.
Found a REAL protocol-latency bug (not a testbench artifact):
the FLASH_XFER opcode's own documented "response ready by the
next host byte" latency convention was WRONG by one byte --
flash_spi_master.v's own transfer (~640ns at this project's real
155.039MHz ui_clk) doesn't even START until the triggering host
byte finishes, so it lands PARTWAY through the very next host
byte's own transmission, corrupting that byte's early bits (a
real, reproduced single-bit corruption, root-caused via a full
signal trace, not guessed). Fixed by requiring TWO trailing
margin bytes, not one -- a full extra host byte period is always
comfortably longer than one internal flash transfer at any
realistic host SPI clock rate, unlike a single byte of margin
which isn't. Corrected in both the module's own header and the
test. Result: 39/39 PASS (all prior tests unaffected).
Wired into hardware/v3/rtl/n2_system_ddr3_top.v (flash_spi_master.v
instantiated, spi_host_bridge_v3.v's 5 new flash_* ports connected)
and hardware/v3/constraints/n2_system_ddr3_top.xdc (real pins: flash_
mosi=K17/flash_miso=K18/flash_cs_n=L13 -- the SAME physical pins
reserved-but-unused in EXP-0075's own constraints, now legitimately
claimed for this purpose; BITSTREAM.CONFIG.PERSIST explicitly set
FALSE, self-documenting the real dependency this module has on it).
DECISION: the config-flash passthrough path is functionally correct
and real-pin-constrained. STARTUPE2 itself (a real Xilinx primitive,
only usable once per design, verified here only via a simulation-only
stub -- see flash_spi_master.v's own header) still needs a REAL
in-context P&R run to confirm it places/routes correctly and that
CONFIG.PERSIST/STARTUPE2 genuinely coexist without conflicting with
the MIG's own use of the configuration infrastructure -- this is
real, not yet done, disclosed as the immediate next_action.
next_action: real in-context P&R re-verification (synth+impl) with
flash_spi_master.v + the new XDC pin/PERSIST constraints included --
first real placement check for STARTUPE2 in this project.

// V3 -- physical SPI master for the FPGA's OWN configuration flash,
// used AFTER normal configuration completes (indirect programming,
// the same real, Xilinx-documented technique used by Vivado's own
// Hardware Manager "Program Configuration Memory Device" feature --
// UG470 7 Series FPGAs Configuration User Guide, pages 94-96).
//
// WHY THIS EXISTS: the user's board design keeps the config flash
// wired EXCLUSIVELY to the FPGA (no external host has a direct SPI
// connection to it) -- the host (an ESP32) can only reach the flash
// BY GOING THROUGH the FPGA, over the already-existing neural-
// processor management SPI (spi_host_bridge_v3.v). This module is
// the physical side of that bridge: a plain byte-wide SPI master
// (mode 0, MSB-first) driving the flash's own MOSI/CS_B pins and
// reading its MISO, at a fixed internal clock divide, completely
// independent of the host's own (slow, externally-clocked) SPI
// timing.
//
// DESIGN CHOICE (passthrough, not a smart flash controller): this
// module does NOT know any Winbond-specific command opcodes (Write
// Enable 0x06, Page Program 0x02, Sector Erase 0x20, Read Data 0x03,
// Read Status Register-1 0x05, BUSY=status bit0 -- all verified
// against the real W25Q32JV datasheet for the bridge's own protocol
// documentation, see spi_host_bridge_v3.v's header) -- it just
// relays whatever bytes the host sends, byte for byte, onto the
// physical flash bus, and relays back whatever the flash returns.
// The HOST decides the exact command sequence. This keeps this
// module trivial and correct-by-construction, and means a future
// flash part swap needs zero RTL changes here.
//
// CCLK REQUIRES STARTUPE2 (a real, hard Xilinx-imposed requirement,
// not a design choice): the physical CCLK pin is never an ordinary
// fabric I/O, even after configuration completes -- it can only be
// driven by fabric logic through the STARTUPE2 primitive's
// USRCCLKO/USRCCLKTS ports (UG953). MOSI/MISO/CS_B (this project's
// own board pins D00_MOSI/D01_DIN/FCS_B) DO become ordinary fabric
// I/O once configuration completes, PROVIDED the bitstream's
// CONFIG.PERSIST option is FALSE (the Vivado default) -- if a future
// build ever needs to flip PERSIST on for some other reason, this
// module stops working and that's a real, disclosed dependency, not
// a hidden one.
//
// ONLY ONE STARTUPE2 PRIMITIVE IS ALLOWED PER DESIGN (a real Xilinx
// placement rule) -- if this module is ever instantiated alongside
// another STARTUPE2 use (e.g. a future ICAPE2-based warm-reboot
// module that also needs it), they must share ONE instance, not two.
