hardware/v1/ was created (dc0b331) as a frozen snapshot of the V1
project that then lived at the repo root (rtl/, sim/, synth/, tools/,
docs/). Root received zero further commits to those files after the
freeze -- confirmed byte-identical to the hardware/v1/ copy for every
file removed here. Root was the "before", hardware/v1/ is the
curated, canonical "after".
Removed (all verified exact-hash duplicates of hardware/v1/ content):
- rtl/ (20 files, 100% covered by hardware/v1/rtl/)
- tools/{netasm,pinout,run_regression.py,flash_catalog,validation,
fpga_benchmark.py} (19 files, 100% covered by hardware/v1/tools/;
tools/neural_sim/ kept -- unique, post-freeze, no counterpart)
- sim/*.v (47 testbenches, 100% covered by hardware/v1/sim/; the
~38 remaining sim/ entries are compiled binaries and .vcd
waveform dumps, left as a separate cleanup decision)
- synth/ecp5/{p2,p4,p8,post_fix_verify} (25 files, exact duplicates
of hardware/v1/synthesis/; the other ~84 synth/ecp5/* experiment
build directories are historical artifacts never carried into the
freeze, left as a separate decision)
- WORKLOG.md (duplicate of hardware/v1/docs/WORKLOG.md)
- docs/{FPGA-Neural-Datapatch-Benchmark,FPGA-Neural-Hardware-Design,
FPGA-NeuralNetwork-Engine}.md, docs/validation/*.md (18 files),
docs/FPGA-Neural-Datasheet-{EN,IT}.pdf -- all exact duplicates of
hardware/v1/docs/ content
- hardware/v1/docs/DatasheetLatex/ (24 files) -- exact duplicate of
hardware/v2/docs/datasheet/files/docs/datasheet/en/ (discovered
during this audit; not the same DatasheetLatex already removed
from hardware/v2/docs/ in an earlier commit)
Moved (genuine, unique, post-freeze V2 content -- not duplicated
anywhere, just living in the wrong/legacy root docs/ location):
- docs/architecture/*.md -> hardware/v2/docs/architecture/
- docs/pinouts.md, docs/FPGA_NEURAL_V2_DATASHEET.md,
docs/FPGA_NEURAL_V2_SCHEMATIC.md,
docs/FPGA-Neural-V2-Datasheet-EN.pdf -> hardware/v2/docs/
Left untouched (separate decisions, not part of this cleanup):
- docs/FPGA-Neural-Flash-Subsystem-Verification.md, docs/
v2-description.md -- orphaned root-only content, no duplicate
found anywhere, but also not part of the reviewed plan
- synth/ecp5/* experiment dirs and sim/*_sim + sim/*.vcd build
artifacts -- not literal duplicates, flagged as candidates for a
future, separate cleanup pass
Verified no functional breakage: grepped all remaining scripts/docs
for references to every removed path -- only prose/comment mentions
found, no executable imports or build-script paths broken.
