micheleandClaude Sonnet 5 eb0b0f9170 docs: PRE-PCB VERIFICATION FREEZE report + config flash freeze
Adds hardware/v2/docs/PRE_PCB_VERIFICATION.md as the single
authoritative pre-schematic verification record: RTL/ERR-0025/
regression re-verification, clock/reset, synthesis/P&R re-audit,
setup/hold timing status, the real SDRAM datasheet-parameter audit
table (Alliance Memory AS4C4M16SA-6TIN Table 17), SPI host bridge
protocol documentation, FPGA power/pinout tables, first-board bring-up
and benchmark status, and cross-domain consistency audit.

Freezes the FPGA configuration flash: Winbond W25Q32JVSSIQ (32Mbit,
SOIC-8, 2.7-3.6V, standard SPI, ECP5 Master-SPI-boot compatible) --
this was the one section-11 item the governing mandate required not
be left OPEN.

Marks CHIP_READINESS.md/OPEN_ITEMS.md/PINOUT.md/CLOCK_ARCHITECTURE.md/
POWER_ARCHITECTURE.md/SCHEMATIC_READINESS.md as superseded (they
predate the SPI host bridge, PLL, and this session's SDRAM datasheet
audit) with pointers to the new consolidated document, rather than
rewriting each individually.

Updates the V2 LaTeX datasheet's status/roadmap chapter to reflect the
SDRAM datasheet audit and configuration-flash decisions, rebuilds the
PDF (clean compile, 16 pages).

Classification: PRE-PCB VERIFIED. Schematic and PCB implementation
remain user-owned and not started.

# FPGA-Neural V2 — POWER ARCHITECTURE
**SUPERSEDED.** See `PRE_PCB_VERIFICATION.md` \S11-\S12 for the
current per-bank voltage table (PASS) and current/power budget
status (still OPEN, same real reasons as below). Left in place for
its own detailed real-value derivation.
## Status (HISTORICAL framing, current status is in PRE_PCB_VERIFICATION.md): OPEN — component/regulator selection not made this round
Per the governing spec's own "NON inventare valori" rule, this
document states what is REALLY known (device-level voltage
requirements, from real datasheets/standard ECP5 knowledge) and
explicitly marks what has NOT been decided, rather than inventing
regulator part numbers or current budgets without real justification.
## Required rails (real device requirements)
Corrected from an earlier draft: real ball-level VCC/VCCAUX/VCCIO
data for this exact package DOES exist (`docs/pinouts.md`, repo root,
sourced from the official Lattice pinout CSV) and is used below rather
than only generic device specs.
| Rail | Nominal voltage | Real balls (CABGA381) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| VCC (core) | 1.1V ±5% | H8,J8,K8,L8,M8,N8,H9,N9,H10,N10,H11,N11,H12,N12,H13,J13,K13,L13,M13,N13 | Real, from `docs/pinouts.md` |
| VCCAUX | 2.5V ±5% | F6, P6, F15, P15 | Real, from `docs/pinouts.md` |
| VCCIO0 | 1.23.3V (bank 0) | F9, F10 | Real ball pair; bank/signal assignment TBD |
| VCCIO1 | 1.23.3V (bank 1) | F11, F12 | Real ball pair |
| VCCIO2 | 1.23.3V (bank 2) | H14, H15, J15 | Real |
| VCCIO3 | 1.23.3V (bank 3) | L14, L15, M15 | Real |
| VCCIO6 | 1.23.3V (bank 6, used by SDRAM) | L6, L7, M6 | Real — SDRAM signals (see PINOUT.md) live in banks 6/7; 3.3V assumed, matching the SDRAM device's own real LVCMOS33 requirement, NOT yet independently cross-verified |
| VCCIO7 | 1.23.3V (bank 7, used by SDRAM) | H6, H7, J6 | Real, same note as VCCIO6 |
| VCCIO8 | config bank | P9, P10 | Real — Lattice's own documentation explicitly ties this rail's voltage to whichever configuration interface is used (OPEN, see Configuration decision below) |
| SDRAM VDD / VDDQ | 3.3V | (external chip, not an FPGA ball) | Per the real AS4C4M16SA-6TIN datasheet's own 3.3V industrial-grade part number |
| Configuration supply | 3.3V (typ.) | tied to VCCIO8 | Depends on the configuration-path decision (OPEN, see below) |
VSS/VSSIO (ground) balls: real per `docs/pinouts.md`'s own note — all
must be connected to the ground plane, none left floating (standard
BGA practice, explicitly called out in the source data).
## What is NOT decided (OPEN ITEMS)
- **Regulator topology/part numbers**: not selected. This project's own
memory notes reference a sibling repository (`../basic-ecp5-pcb`)
with a real, working power tree (TLV62568×2 + TLV73325) as a
possible reference — but that repository is **not present on disk**
in this environment (confirmed during this step's own audit), so it
cannot be verified or cited as a concrete plan this round. A future
step should either locate that reference design or select
regulators from scratch against the real current budget below.
- **Maximum estimated current**: not computed. This requires a real
power estimate from the actual synthesized netlist (Lattice's own
power calculator/estimation tools were not run this session) — NOT
invented here. The real, measured resource utilization (TRELLIS_FF=
6425, TRELLIS_COMB=6023, MULT18X18D=32, DP16KD=0 at N=4, POST-P&R,
STEP19) is available as an INPUT to such a calculation, but the
calculation itself was not performed.
- **Decoupling/bulk capacitance**: not specified — a schematic-level
decision that depends on the final regulator selection above.
- **Startup/power sequencing**: ECP5 devices generally require VCC and
VCCAUX to be sequenced correctly relative to VCCIO and the
configuration source per Lattice's own real application notes — this
project has not yet consulted or reproduced those real sequencing
requirements; flagged as OPEN, not assumed compatible.
## Summary
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Real rail voltage requirements (VCC/VCCAUX/VCCIO/SDRAM) identified | Done, from real device specs |
| Regulator selection | **OPEN — not made, no real reference design available this session** |
| Current budget | **OPEN — not computed, would require running a real power-estimation tool** |
| Decoupling/bulk capacitance | **OPEN — depends on regulator selection** |
| Power sequencing verification | **OPEN — not yet checked against real Lattice app notes** |
