First silicon proof of the EXI capture path. A Pi bit-banging EXI into J4
reads the device ID 04 02 02 00 21/21, NWAYS 0x17, HIPR 0x01, writes and reads
back PAR0-3, writes IMR, and sees NCRA's reset bit self-clear.
Fixes two host-side bugs found getting there:
- exi_devid_rpi.py sampled MISO just after the rising edge, racing the slave's
own update and landing one bit early (04 came back as 08). Sample in the
CLK-low phase, as the simulation does.
- pi-exi-wirecheck.py's bridge scan drove HIGH against pull-downs, but the
FPGA's SB_IO pull-up out-pulls the Pi's internal pull-down, so every pin
reported as bridged. The aggressor now drives LOW against pull-ups.

Verifies the harness before attempting a real EXI transfer. Keyed on the
EXI_J4 build's SB_IO pull-ups: an FPGA input with PULLUP=1 reads HIGH when
connected, follows the Pi's pull when open, and reads a hard 0 only when
shorted -- so all three cases are distinguishable from the Pi alone.
Includes a T0 control on known-unwired pins; without it a broken pull
mechanism would turn every 'connected' verdict into a false pass.

Reverts the 0x8000/0xC000 change from 162dbf7, which was WRONG and actively
broke transmission. The W5100S datasheet pseudo-code quotes 0x8000 (TX) /
0xC000 (RX) for the memory blocks, but the PARALLEL/indirect (IDM) interface
only decodes a 15-bit offset. Bench-proven with an address-aliasing probe:
writing distinct values to each candidate base and reading them back showed
0xC000 and 0x4000 are the SAME cell (0xC000 & 0x7FFF == 0x4000) while 0x6000
holds its own value.
Consequence of the bad base: every payload byte written to 0x9800+i aliased
down onto 0x0000+i, landing on SHAR (0x09-0x0E) and SIPR (0x0F-0x12) and
overwriting them with the payload. The chip then transmitted frames with a
garbage source MAC/IP, which the peer NIC drops without counting -- the
"SEND_OK but rx_packets=0" symptom, and the bogus SIPR0 readback (0x50 was
literally payload byte 15, 'P').
The NETLCKR unlock from 9c4bc7a is a genuine W5100S requirement and stays.
Also:
- w5100_udptest.py: self-contained configure+send+readback probe (and the
address-aliasing probe that found this), reports over UART.
- scripts/build-flash.sh: sweep N seeds and flash the best (capture timing is
seed-dependent, so the sweep is mandatory).
- scripts/uart-console.py: interactive UART console, plus --send/--read
one-shot modes for scripting.
