FASE #1 hardware freeze for FPGA-Neural V2, N4/P8, single external SDRAM (Alliance Memory AS4C4M16SA-6TIN) serving weights, activations, and results through one physical sdram_controller.v instance. Removes the PSRAM dependency (hardware/v1/rtl/psram_controller.v + memory_interface.v) from the V2 physical path entirely -- V1 itself remains fully unmodified, the golden reference. New RTL: sdram_unified_backend.v (2-way W/AR arbitration over one SDRAM controller, real per-byte DQM write masking added to sdram_controller.v for correct single-byte result writes with no read-modify-write), nms_neural_multiprocessor_sdram_unified.v (the frozen top-level). Two real bugs found and fixed via full-system testing before being accepted (ERR-0023): a deadlock and an off-by-one data-shift bug in the new arbitration logic. Real results: N=4 and N=2 D-Stress bit-exact (256/256 neurons), 40 real AUTO REFRESH events interleaved with zero corruption, real Yosys+nextpnr-ecp5 synthesis/P&R for LFE5U-45F-8CABGA381 (149/245 TRELLIS_IO, a real 45-pin reduction from the prior dual-memory design). Timing is MARGINAL (1/8 P&R seeds >=80MHz), reported honestly rather than masked by the best seed. Real, sourced ball-level pinout for the SDRAM bus + clk/rst (39/149 signals, P&R-verified) using the official Lattice ECP5U-45 pinout CSV found on disk during this step's own pre-commit review -- corrects an earlier draft that wrongly assumed no real pinout data was available. Chip readiness: NO. Real, disclosed blockers remain (no physical host interface exists yet -- the RTL's own reg_* ports are a 110-pin raw test-harness bus; clock source/PLL decision; power/configuration component selection) -- see hardware/v2/docs/{HARDWARE_FREEZE, CHIP_READINESS,OPEN_ITEMS}.md for the complete, itemized status.

Formato dei log V2
Regola non negoziabile (docs/v2-description.md §25-29): ogni attività
significativa (modifica, simulazione, sintesi, benchmark, decisione, errore)
deve essere registrata. Nessun log viene mai sovrascritto o troncato — solo
append. Nessun ID esperimento (EXP-XXXX) o decisione (DEC-XXXX) viene mai
riutilizzato, anche se il risultato è un FAIL.
File
development.log— log principale di sviluppo, un'entry per ogni sessione di lavoro/milestone (creazione file, refactor, avanzamento roadmap).architecture.log— decisioni e note di architettura a grana fine (non scelte finali — quelle vanno indecisions.log— ma esplorazioni, alternative considerate, vincoli scoperti).simulation.log— ogni run di simulazione (Icarus/Verilator): test, vettori, cicli, PASS/FAIL, confronto bit-exact con V1, stall/memory-wait.synthesis.log— ogni run Yosys: LUT/FF/DSP/BRAM, warning, problemi CHECK.timing.log— ogni run nextpnr-ecp5: Fmax, percorso critico, WNS/TNS se disponibili. Fmax "ufficiale" di una configurazione = solo da qui, mai da simulazione o stima.benchmark.log— tabelle di confronto per configurazione (Fmax, MAC/cycle, cycles/neuron, utilization, ecc.), sempre con etichetta THEORETICAL/SIMULATED/SYNTHESIZED/POST-P&R.decisions.log— decisioni architetturali importanti, formatoDEC-XXXX(vedidocs/v2-description.md§27).experiments.log— registro principale, unEXP-XXXXper ogni esperimento end-to-end (config → sim/synth/timing → risultato), rimanda areports/experiments/EXP-XXXX/.errors.log— errori/bug/regressioni incontrati durante lo sviluppo V2 stesso (non i bug V1, già chiusi inhardware/v1/docs/validation/bugs.md).
Campi minimi per entry (§26)
timestamp, experiment_id (se applicabile), git_commit, session/agent,
module, configuration, action, reason, command, result, errors, decision,
next_action
Per synthesis/timing aggiungere: LUT, FF, DSP, BRAM, Fmax, critical path, WNS/TNS. Per simulazione: test, vectors, cycles, PASS/FAIL, bit-exact result, stall cycles, memory wait, utilization.
