An interactive UART command shell drives a UDP send/receive test on the
W5100's socket 3, running ALONGSIDE the live BBA (socket-0 MACRAW) with
EXI keeping bus priority. MACRAW+UDP coexistence is W5100S-datasheet
confirmed (S4.6 + "4 independent SOCKETs"). Now the default flash build
(--console selects the old event-log console).
New / changed gateware:
- uart_shell.py (new): rebbarb> shell over FT2232H channel B. Commands:
help; udp unicast <ip> [msg]; udp broadcast [msg]. After each send it
waits (bounded, else "timeout") for a reply and prints "rx <payload>".
Line buffer + message ROM live in block RAM with a sequential parser
(LC-efficient); 1-deep RX holding reg keeps pastes intact. 8 sim tests.
- w5100_parallel_master.py: configurable UDP socket (default 3) with UDP
send AND receive (IP-stack init, runtime dest IP, WIZnet UDP RX header
+ payload). Gated by enable_udp_test so the MACRAW path is unchanged
when off. Tests U1-U4 + MACRAW T1-T5.
- exi_capture.py: CAPTURE-DOMAIN CRITICAL-PATH FIX. The TX byte-FIFO
read-enable was gated by its own gray-coded ready
(r_en = ... | (flushing & r_rdy)), forming a consume_ptr -> gray ->
r_rdy -> flush -> r_en -> consume_ptr loop that capped capture_clk.
Replaced the r_rdy-based "drain until empty" flush with a fixed-length
drain counter (FIFO is only tx_depth deep), removing the pointer
feedback from r_en. Path 24.3 -> 19.6 ns; flush behavior preserved.
- bba_top.py: wire shell <-> W5100 UDP (send + rx); shell additive.
- synth.py: shell default build; env-var UDP network config; documents a
reverted PNR-timing-priority experiment.
Timing (--seeds 8, default shell build, 67% LC): capture closes on 4/8
seeds (best seed 4 = 58.36 MHz, +8%), clk passes on all. This is BETTER
than the pre-shell 2/8 baseline because the flush fix improved the
capture domain intrinsically. Flash build/seed4/top.bin.
Bring-up caveats (unchanged): W5100 socket register addresses / UDP
header format are datasheet-derived (confirm on hardware); UDP_SRC_IP /
subnet / gateway must match the LAN for unicast ARP.

Documents everything examined in the 2026-07-17/18 review - not just
findings but full coverage with verdicts, so future sessions know what
not to re-review: per-sheet verification against datasheets and the
WIZnet reference design, the settled look-wrong-but-correct list
(VPHY/VPLL on 3.3V, D4/D5 floating VBUS + flow-through, EN at 12V,
RSET 12.4k, no CT cap, DO/DI direction evidence), PCB/JLC/BOM audit
state, explicit not-reviewed list (bench/gateware items), and a binding
rule to keep the file updated in the same commit as any change to a
reviewed circuit. Referenced from CLAUDE.md alongside TODO.md.

SP1 DO/DI naming is console-perspective (verified against SD Gecko and
SD2SP2 wiring): pin 6 DO = GC data out = adapter MOSI input, pin 9 DI =
GC data in = adapter MISO output. The design doc's SP1 table had the
roles reversed and the schematic followed it, putting the FPGA's MISO
driver on the GC-driven DO line (bus contention).
Fix keeps all PCB routing identical:
- Swap net names EXI_MOSI(_RAW) <-> EXI_MISO(_RAW) across exi/Fpga/root
sheets and the PCB (also renames the D2 PUSB3AB6 channel assignments).
- Swap R21 (22R) <-> R25 (33R) identities between the two footprint
positions so 33R stays on the FPGA-driven MISO line, 22R on the MOSI
input.
- Correct the SP1 pin table + MISO-tristate note in
docs/gc_bba_fpga_design.md (root cause).
Resulting board pin map (for the future board PCF): EXI_MOSI = FPGA
pin 4 (IOB_8a, input), EXI_MISO = pin 3 (IOB_9b, output).
Verified: ERC 0, DRC 0 errors with schematic parity 0, netlist shows
J3.6(DO)->R21->pin 4 and J3.9(DI)->R25->pin 3.

- Remove stale lowercase power.kicad_sch (pre-rework draft; live sheet is
Power.kicad_sch). Both paths were git-tracked, which on a case-insensitive
Windows checkout makes them one file on disk - deleting the stale one also
deleted the live one, and restoring the live sheet resurrected the stale
path at the next commit. Removing the path from the index breaks the loop.
- Remove re-bba-rb.kicad_pcb.old.* leftovers (recoverable from history).
- Restore hardware/re-bba-rb/datasheets/ (deleted accidentally by 3547302)
and add the two missing datasheets: TPS22810 (power) and PUSB3AB6 (exi).
- Add hardware/re-bba-rb/TODO.md capturing the 2026-07-17 review findings
(EXI DO/DI swap, missing W5100S MDI termination, FTDI EEPROM resistors,
iceprog pin mismatch, PR1 margin, BOM/ordering notes); referenced from
CLAUDE.md.
Verified after cleanup: ERC 0 violations, netlist identical (107 components).
