Adds FPGA-exclusive access to the onboard W25Q128JV SPI NOR flash for weights/bias/network persistence, layered as spi_flash_master (raw SPI, USRMCLK-driven) -> flash_copy_engine (flash<->PSRAM streaming, erase- before-write, Page Program loop) -> flash_slot_manager (16-slot catalog with CRC32), exposed via 8 new SPI opcodes (0x40-0x47). Fixes two pre-existing bugs found during bring-up: a psram_controller.v request lost during power-up, and a one-cycle-pulse race in the PSRAM arbiter request handshake. Full simulation + real Yosys/nextpnr-ecp5 synthesis verification (0 errors, Fmax 66.68MHz) in WORKLOG.md and docs/FPGA-Neural-Flash-Subsystem-Verification.md. Also updates docs/pinout to reflect the 56-signal real .lpf (3 new flash pins) and documents the WRITE_RAM/READ_RAM host backpressure risk found while testing this subsystem.

"""
|
|
Independent host-side oracle for the flash-subsystem catalog (Phase F4).
|
|
|
|
Per WORKLOG.md's verification standard (§A.1, "regola d'oro"): CRC and
|
|
catalog-layout expected values used by the RTL testbenches must come from
|
|
a source INDEPENDENT of the RTL/testbench author's own understanding, not
|
|
be re-derived from the same design intent that produced the hardware. This
|
|
script is that source -- it uses Python's stdlib `zlib.crc32` (a
|
|
widely-used, pre-existing, independently-implemented CRC32 -- not
|
|
hand-derived here to match the RTL) and a from-scratch description of the
|
|
catalog byte layout, written by reading the byte offsets directly rather
|
|
than importing anything from rtl/flash_slot_manager.v.
|
|
|
|
Catalog entry layout (16 bytes, matches rtl/flash_slot_manager.v's own
|
|
header comment -- kept in sync by hand, cross-checked by the testbenches
|
|
comparing actual hardware output against THIS script's output byte-for-
|
|
byte, not by either side trusting the other's prose description):
|
|
|
|
offset[0:3) -- 24-bit flash byte offset of the slot's data, MSB first
|
|
offset[3:6) -- 24-bit slot length in bytes, MSB first
|
|
offset[6] -- 8-bit slot type (opaque, host-defined)
|
|
offset[7] -- valid flag: 0x01 = valid, anything else = invalid
|
|
(a freshly-erased catalog sector is all-0xFF, so an
|
|
unwritten slot is invalid by construction, no format
|
|
step needed)
|
|
offset[8:12) -- CRC32 (IEEE 802.3 / zlib) of the slot's data payload,
|
|
MSB first
|
|
offset[12:16) -- reserved, always 0x00000000
|
|
|
|
16 slots x 16 bytes = 256 bytes = one flash page, comfortably inside the
|
|
4KB catalog sector (sector 0, address 0x000000 -- reserved, never used for
|
|
slot data, per rtl/flash_slot_manager.v's CATALOG_SECTOR_ADDR).
