feat: real result-writeback engine, removes the last hard N-scaling pin blocker (EXP-0088)
Adds result_writeback.v, one instance per packed_slot.v, writing each completed job's result directly into DDR3 at the job's own result_addr_a/b instead of driving literal top-level pins -- the same architectural shape as the weight-fetch path, in reverse. job_done now means "durably in DDR3", not "captured in a register only a pin could see". n2_system_ddr3_top.v's own s0_result_data_a/b, s1_result_data_a/b top-level package pins are removed (and the now-dangling XDC constraint for them), closing the real, hard scaling blocker docs/ARCHITECTURE_ ANALYSIS.md flagged since EXP-0074/0079 (8 bits x 2 lanes x N cores -> 256 pins at N=16). Addressing reuses the exact same JOB_ADDR_WIDTH->ctrl-bus-word truncation x_base_a/w_base already use (verified against act_tile_ fetch.v's/layer_prefetch_ctrl.v's own real code, not guessed). The host reads results back via the already-existing READ_MEM (0x02) SPI opcode -- no new protocol. A real EXP-0066-class bug (issuing ctrl_req before mem_grant) was caught and fixed before ever compiling, by re-deriving the design against act_tile_fetch.v's own proven S_MEMWAIT/S_GAP sequencing. Verified two ways: tb_packed_slot.v extended with a real DDR3 read-after-write check (9/9 PASS, confirms the write actually landed, not just that job_done pulsed); tb_n2_system_ddr3.v re-run via real xsim to confirm correct behavior under real 2-slot shared-bus arbitration (8/8 PASS, 0 errors, consistent timing with EXP-0087's own baseline for this workload).

// ============================================================
|
||||
// V3 -- result_writeback.v: real result-writeback engine, closing the
|
||||
// gap disclosed since packed_slot.v's own original header ("no
|
||||
// result-writeback engine exists yet either -- result_addr_a/b are
|
||||
// passed through unused") and flagged as a hard scaling blocker
|
||||
// (docs/ARCHITECTURE_ANALYSIS.md S4.6/S5.3): literal top-level
|
||||
// result_data_a/b pins do not scale past a handful of cores (8 bits x
|
||||
// 2 lanes x N cores -- at N=16 that's 256 pins on this port alone).
|
||||
//
|
||||
// REAL FIX: write each completed job's result INTO DDR3 at the job's
|
||||
// own result_addr_a/result_addr_b (already carried through packed_
|
||||
// slot.v's own interface, previously unused), reusing the SAME shared
|
||||
// ctrl port packed_slot.v already time-multiplexes among its other
|
||||
// sub-engines (layer_prefetch_ctrl.v / ddr_prefetch_mgr.v) -- same
|
||||
// architectural shape as the weight-fetch path, in reverse. The host
|
||||
// reads results back via the ALREADY-EXISTING READ_MEM (0x02) opcode
|
||||
// -- no new SPI protocol needed.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// REAL ADDRESSING (verified against act_tile_fetch.v's/layer_
|
||||
// prefetch_ctrl.v's own real address-computation code, not guessed):
|
||||
// result_addr_a/b arrive in packed_slot.v's own JOB_ADDR_WIDTH=26-bit
|
||||
// convention. Exactly like x_base_a/w_base already do, the LOW
|
||||
// ADDR_WIDTH=25 bits (dropping the unused top/MSB headroom bit) are
|
||||
// used DIRECTLY as a ctrl-bus-native 32-bit-word address -- the SAME
|
||||
// address space act_tile_fetch.v's own ctrl_addr already lives in.
|
||||
// ONE full 32-bit ctrl-word is written per lane:
|
||||
// {node_id[15:0], 8'h00, result_data[7:0]} (low 16 bits =
|
||||
// zero-extended 8-bit result value, high 16 bits = node_id).
|
||||
//
|
||||
// REAL, DISCLOSED HOST-FIRMWARE IMPLICATION (not yet built, same as
|
||||
// this project's other disclosed host-firmware gaps, e.g. JTAG
|
||||
// bit-banging): reading a written result back via the EXISTING
|
||||
// READ_MEM (16-bit-word-addressed) opcode needs
|
||||
// `mem_addr = result_addr[24:0]*2` for the value and
|
||||
// `mem_addr = result_addr[24:0]*2 + 1` for node_id (2 host reads per
|
||||
// lane, since READ_MEM's own mem_addr is 16-bit-word-granular while
|
||||
// this engine writes a native 32-bit ctrl-word -- see host_mem_
|
||||
// bridge.v's own header for the real reason that halving exists).
|
||||
//
|
||||
// WMASK CONVENTION (matches host_mem_bridge.v's own real, already-
|
||||
// working pattern exactly, not reinvented): 0 = write this byte, 1 =
|
||||
// masked -- the same DQM-style polarity this project's whole memory
|
||||
// stack already uses end to end.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// TWO LANES, ONE TRANSACTION EACH, SEQUENTIAL: lane A's write
|
||||
// completes fully (through its own ctrl_ready) before lane B's own
|
||||
// starts -- mirrors act_tile_fetch.v's own "lane A then lane B"
|
||||
// sequencing for its two burst reads, the same discipline already
