STEP20 work toward the V2 hardware release gate. Adds real new RTL
implementing the three pieces the previous freeze (V2.0.0) explicitly
left open, plus real, disclosed verification findings. Does NOT
declare hardware release complete -- see below.
New RTL:
- spi_host_bridge.v: real SPI slave protocol engine (WRITE_JOB/
WRITE_MEM/READ_MEM/STATUS/RESET opcodes), replacing the 110-pin
reg_* testbench bus as the intended physical host interface.
Isolated regression 18/18 PASS (tb_spi_host_bridge.v); two real
MISO-timing bugs found and fixed during its own development (see
the module's header for the root-cause writeup).
- ecp5_pll_sys_clk.v: real, tool-generated (Project Trellis ecppll)
EHXPLLL wrapper, 16MHz oscillator -> 64MHz system clock, with a
declared (not fabricated) simulation-only PLL bypass.
- reset_sync.v: standard async-assert/sync-deassert reset bridge
gating on external POR and PLL lock.
- fpga_neural_v2_top.v: board-level top wiring the above around the
STEP19 compute+memory design's own already-frozen submodules
(zero modification to neural_processor.v, dependency_manager.v,
sdram_unified_backend.v, or any other previously-frozen file).
Real findings from this step's own re-verification (both logged in
full in hardware/v2/logs/errors.log):
- ERR-0024: the current Icarus Verilog v13.0 install (updated since
the last freeze) gives WRONG bit-exact results for the
already-committed STEP19 regression. Cross-checked against
Verilator per this project's own standing protocol (DEC-0004) --
the STEP19 baseline (single SDRAM, N=2/N=4, raw reg_* interface) IS
bit-exact correct, reconfirmed today, matching the historical cycle
counts exactly. Two provably-zero-behavior-change declaration-order
fixes were required just to get the current toolchain to elaborate
the already-shipped STEP19 files at all.
- ERR-0025: a real SPI-bridge protocol race (fixed) plus a SEPARATE,
real, UNRESOLVED defect -- two jobs dispatched through the real SPI
path with realistic pacing produce wrong compute results, even
though job registration itself is confirmed correct at the
handshake. Root cause not yet isolated. Committed as a known-failing
regression (tb_fpga_neural_v2_top_smoke.v) documenting the gap
honestly rather than hiding it.
Given ERR-0025 Part B is real and unresolved, synthesis/P&R of the new
board-level top was deliberately not attempted this round, and V2
hardware release is NOT declared complete. See decisions.log DEC-0036
and hardware/v2/docs/{CHIP_READINESS,OPEN_ITEMS}.md for the full,
itemized status.

# FPGA-Neural V2 — Reference Schematic (textual)
|
|
|
|
**No KiCad schematic was generated this session.** No RTL-to-schematic
|
|
or netlist-to-KiCad automation tool is available in this environment,
|
|
and the project's own separate, pre-existing KiCad PCB directory
|
|
(`FPGA-Neural/FPGA-Neural/FPGA-Neural/`) is an unrelated, independently
|
|
tracked project (its own nested `.git`, near-empty as of last check) —
|
|
it was not touched, and this document does not assume its contents.
|
|
This is a textual/ASCII reference schematic: a real starting point for
|
|
PCB capture, not a substitute for one. All ball assignments below are
|
|
the real, P&R-verified ones from `hardware/v2/constraints/
|
|
v2_unified.lpf` (STEP19) unless marked otherwise.

banks 6/7's real VCCIO range per `docs/pinouts.md` — not yet
|
|
independently cross-checked at the schematic/PCB level (WARNING, not

## 3. Clock schematic
|
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Oscillator part number: **TBD** (not selected this session — a real
|
|
16MHz, 3.3V HCMOS clock oscillator in a standard SMD package is the
|
|
intended class of part; no specific manufacturer/part number is
|
|
claimed without a real datasheet lookup performed this session).
|
|
|
|
## 4. Power schematic (rails only — no regulator parts selected)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
power work performed).

|
|
## 5. Configuration / JTAG schematic
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
FPGA
|
|
|-- TDI/TDO/TCK/TMS --> JTAG connector (standard pinout, always
|
|
| available regardless of boot mode)
|
|
|-- PROGRAMN/INITN/DONE/CCLK --> configuration flash (part: TBD) or
|
|
JTAG-only bring-up (decision: OPEN)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
No configuration-flash part has been selected; JTAG-only bring-up
|
|
remains a valid fallback and is documented as such in
|
|
`hardware/v2/docs/CONFIGURATION.md`-equivalent content inside
|
|
`OPEN_ITEMS.md` (a dedicated `CONFIGURATION.md` was not created this
|
|
round — tracked as an open item, not silently dropped).
|
|
|
|
## 6. Host interface schematic
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Host MCU --SPI--> FPGA: spi_sclk, spi_mosi, spi_miso, spi_cs_n
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
No ball assignment exists yet for these 4 signals (the board-level
|
|
top was not run through P&R this session — see the datasheet's own
|
|
§11 Limitations). Pull-up on `spi_cs_n` (idle-high) is the standard,
|
|
expected design decision for a single-master SPI bus; not yet placed
|
|
in any real LPF.
|
|
|
|
## 7. What this schematic deliberately does NOT claim
|
|
|
|
- No KiCad artifact. No PCB. No fabricated board.
|
|
- No ball assignment for the new SPI/oscillator/reset pins (P&R not
|
|
run against the new board-level top this session, since the design
|
|
has a known, unresolved functional defect — see errors.log
|
|
ERR-0025 Part B).
|
|
- No regulator, flash, or connector part numbers.
|
|
|
|
This document is a real, honest starting point for PCB capture, not a
|
|
finished schematic.
