micheleandClaude Sonnet 5 7d6311bce3 feat: two-flash programming architecture, FPGA_DATA_READY, real JTAG/config pinout
Establishes the real ESP32<->ECP5 programming architecture: flash #1
(neural-network data, existing V1 subsystem, ball reserved not yet
wired into V2) stays separate from flash #2 (boot bitstream, MSPI
auto-boot, CFG[2:0]=[0,1,0]); ESP32 talks JTAG only (bit-banged, no
hardware JTAG-master peripheral on S3/C6), updating flash #2 through
the ECP5's own internal sysCONFIG-to-SPI bridge, never driving the
flash pins directly -- zero bus contention, confirmed against the real
Lattice hardware checklist and sysCONFIG user guide.

Adds real, verified ball assignments (official Lattice CABGA381 CSV +
Project Trellis iodb.json) for JTAG, PROGRAMN/INITN/DONE, CFG[2:0],
and the MSPI dedicated pins -- all written to docs/pinouts.md.

Implements FPGA_DATA_READY as real RTL: a system-idle detector
(dependency_manager's any_pending OR neural_director's !queue_empty OR
any active slot), sticky on the busy->idle edge, self-clearing on new
work -- not a per-neuron completion pulse, which was confirmed too
fine-grained. Bit-exact regression re-verified at N_SLOTS=4 and 8
(zero cycle-count change), new explicit data_ready assertion check
added to the D-Stress testbench (PASS both configs), and a fresh
Yosys+nextpnr-ecp5 placement check (0 errors, data_ready placed at G3).

Also fixes a real, independently-found bug while editing an adjacent
file: nms_neural_multiprocessor_sdram_unified.v's own sdram_a port was
still [11:0] (12 bits), stale from before the 64MB/13-bit memory
upgrade. Not exercised by the real board-level top (which wires SDRAM
directly, bypassing this wrapper) but WAS silently truncating A12 in
every D-Stress simulation this session, including today's earlier
ERR-0029 verification runs. Assessed impact: all D-Stress test
addresses used this session decode to rows under 4096 (bit 12 never
actually needed), so no false-positive PASS is believed to have
resulted -- but the full 64MB space was never actually exercised
through this wrapper. Fixed; re-verified bit-exact with identical
cycle counts.

See decisions.log DEC-0041 for full detail.
