micheleandClaude Sonnet 5 9dead54ebf feat: real 32-bit DDR3 channel widening - functionally complete, timing NOT yet closed (EXP-0084)
Real 32-bit DDR3 widening (2x MT41J128M16JT-125:K chips ganged in
parallel, user's own MIG wizard session). Full RTL adaptation across
the shared ctrl bus (16-bit word -> 32-bit word, BURST_LEN=8 unchanged,
burst payload 128->256 bits):

- mig_native_adapter.v: app_wdf_data/app_rd_data 64->128 bits (real,
  confirmed against the regenerated MIG wrapper), beat count unchanged.
- act_tile_fetch.v: real logic change - burst now holds 4 tiles instead
  of 2 (sel_lat extended to 2 registered bits, 4-way case mux instead
  of 2-way ternary, same request-time-registered-select discipline as
  EXP-0081). Not a further bytes/MAC reduction, just what's needed to
  keep 100% packing utilization at the larger burst.
- host_mem_bridge.v: real addressing redesign - host-facing 16-bit-word
  contract kept unchanged (ESP32 firmware unaffected), internally
  translated onto the new 32-bit-native ctrl bus.
- sdram_arbiter_n.v, layer_prefetch_ctrl.v, packed_slot.v,
  ddr_prefetch_mgr.v, n2_system_ddr3_top.v: mechanical width bump plus
  doubled ddr3_dq/dqs/dm pins and the real differential sys_clk/clk_ref
  top-level ports the regenerated MIG now requires.

New burst_mem_model32.v: explicitly synthetic 32-bit test-only burst
memory (the real 16-bit SDR model is genuinely fixed-width, shared by
20+ other tests, correctly not touched). Found and fixed a real
address-aliasing bug in it during bring-up (MEM_ADDR_BITS=16 silently
wrapped a real 0x10000 test address to 0).

Real verification: all isolated testbenches re-verified (10/10, 33/33,
32/32, 7/7, 9/9 PASS), plus real xsim against the real 2-chip DDR3
model (tb_mig_native_adapter.v 12/12 PASS, tb_n2_system_ddr3.v 8/8
PASS, both chips visibly returning different real data).

Real P&R: 5 real bugs found and fixed across iterations (stale
single-ended MIG clock ports, a real VCCO conflict between the flash
SPI bus and the differential reference clock in bank 14 - fixed by
moving flash to bank 16, a stale imported XDC - same bug class as
EXP-0078 but for constraints this time, missing IOSTANDARDs, and two
previously-silently-broken XDC property bugs). Route completes 100%,
but real timing does NOT close: WNS -0.618ns, 213 failing endpoints.

Honest root cause: the violation is inside neural_processor_packed.v's
own packed-MAC accumulation tree, unchanged since EXP-0059 - it has
real margin at the old 155.039MHz ui_clk but not at the new 172.414MHz
the paired clock-period change produced. This is NOT caused by the
32-bit width change itself. Width alone, even at the old clock, already
delivers the full intended 2x bandwidth gain (1.24 -> ~2.48 GB/s) -
width and clock rate are separable levers. Current trustworthy timing
signoff remains EXP-0083 (16-bit, +0.073ns) until the clock period is
reverted toward 3225ps (keeping Data Width=32) in one more real,
user-gated MIG wizard session.

// ============================================================
// EXP-0084: re-run of the EXP-0083 ddr_prefetch_mgr.v isolated
// correctness + A/B cycle-count test against the new 32-bit ctrl bus
// (real DDR3 channel widening). Backend switched to burst_mem_
// model32.v (see its own header -- explicitly synthetic, fixed
// latency, not claiming real DDR3 row/bank AC timing) since the real
// AS4C32M16SA x16 SDR model this test used before is genuinely fixed
// at 16-bit and can't represent the new bus width.
//
// EXP-0083's own PART 3 (same-row vs row-switch-heavy A/B, exploiting
// the old SDR model's own real row/bank timing distinction) is
// DROPPED here -- burst_mem_model32.v has a single fixed latency
// regardless of address pattern, so that comparison would no longer
// carry real meaning on this backend. The trustworthy, real number
// for that effect already comes from EXP-0083's own real-DDR3-backend
// measurement (tb_n2_system_ddr3.v, 2.86% real reduction) -- this
// isolated test's own job is correctness + a basic sanity check that
// prefetch is still not slower than the old per-tile loop, not to
// re-derive that headline number.
