micheleandClaude Sonnet 5 97a21be240 feat: flash boot/persistence subsystem (SPI master, copy engine, CRC32 slot catalog)
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.

"""
Generates synth/ecp5/spi_neuron_top.lpf (LOCATE/IOBUF constraints) for
spi_neuron_top's SPI + PSRAM ports on the real LFE5U-45F-8BG381C part,
using Project Trellis's own device database as the source of ball/bank/
dual-function data (the same data nextpnr-ecp5 itself uses) -- not
invented numbers.
Requires prjtrellis installed (Homebrew: `brew install prjtrellis`) and
its iodb.json for LFE5U-45F. See docs/FPGA-Neural-Hardware-Design.md §7
for the full placement rationale (bank/die-edge geometry, why banks 2+3
hold the PSRAM bus and bank 7 holds SPI/clock/reset).
Re-run this whenever the port list of rtl/spi_neuron_top.v's top-level
SPI/PSRAM interface changes (ADDR_WIDTH, MEM_DATA_WIDTH, etc.) -- it does
NOT try to read the RTL; the port list/widths are hardcoded below and
must be kept in sync by hand.
