micheleandClaude Sonnet 5 4c59b7e7c8 docs: add preliminary datasheet for FPGA-Neural N8 (semiconductor-style)
Standalone LaTeX document (docs/latex/datasheet.tex), styled like an
ordinary component/module datasheet (features block, ordering info,
block diagram, absolute maximum ratings, recommended operating
conditions, pin configuration, timing/resource/performance tables,
protocol summary, verification status, BOM, open items, revision
history).

Marked PRELIMINARY throughout -- the board has not been physically
fabricated yet, so electrical/thermal ratings not directly measured by
this project defer to the underlying component datasheets (Xilinx
DS181, Micron DDR3, Winbond W25Q32JV) rather than being invented.
Every timing/resource/verification number is real, sourced from actual
P&R and simulation results, matching the rest of the project's own
"real numbers only" discipline.

micheleandClaude Sonnet 5 fc0130e2e2 docs: LaTeX chapters for hardware, chip architecture, and tests/timing
Three chapters (docs/latex/), sourced from the real project docs
(BOM.md, PHYSICAL_REALIZATION.md, ARCHITECTURE_ANALYSIS.md,
experiments.log) -- no invented numbers:

- hardware.tex: board components, DDR3/FPGA/flash/ESP32, real pinout,
  SPI protocol, boot procedure.
- architecture.tex: packed INT8 MAC core, N=8 hybrid systolic
  architecture (shared-weight broadcast), hierarchical arbiter,
  result writeback, why N=8 is the DDR3-bandwidth-bound sweet spot.
- tests_timing.tex: verification methodology, real functional test
  results table, full real P&R signoff history (N=2 through N=16),
  the definitive N=8 signoff (WNS=0.000ns), and an honestly-caveated
  ESP32-S3 comparison (real historical ECP5 measurement vs. the
  superseded, never-verified Artix-7 projection).

main.tex ties the three together as report chapters.
