C-3: plfm_chirp_controller_enhanced never reset chirp_counter when the
frame completed. Counter sat at CHIRP_MAX after frame 1, so the
LONG_LISTEN -> GUARD transition guard (== CHIRP_MAX/2-1) never matched
correctly on subsequent frames and frame 2+ ran extra chirps until the
6-bit counter wrapped. Reset chirp_counter in the DONE state.
S-2: Replace hardcoded CHIRP_MAX = 32 with RP_CHIRPS_PER_FRAME from
radar_params.vh so the TX FSM tracks the single source of truth.
S-1: Correct misleading labels in tb_system_e2e G14.1-G14.3. Per
radar_params.vh the range_mode encoding is 2'b00 = 3 km, 2'b01 =
long-range, 2'b10/2'b11 = reserved. The TB strings previously called
2'b01 "short" and 2'b10 "long", which is inverted and inconsistent
with the RTL comments in radar_mode_controller.v.
Regression: 32/32 PASS.
RTL fixes discovered via new end-to-end testbench:
- plfm_chirp_controller: TX/RX mixer enables now mutually exclusive
by FSM state (Fix#4), preventing simultaneous TX+RX activation
- usb_data_interface: stream control reset default 3'b001 (range-only),
added doppler/cfar data_pending sticky flags, write FSM triggers on
range_valid only — eliminates startup deadlock (Fix#5)
- radar_receiver_final: STM32 toggle signals wired through for mode-00
pass-through, dynamic frame detection via host_chirps_per_elev
- radar_system_top: STM32 toggle signal wiring to receiver instance
- chirp_memory_loader_param: explicit readmemh range for short chirp
Test infrastructure:
- New tb_system_e2e.v: 46 checks across 12 groups (reset, TX, safety,
RX, USB R/W, CDC, beam scanning, reset recovery, stream control,
latency budgets, watchdog)
- tb_usb_data_interface: Tests 21/22/56 updated for data_pending
architecture (preload flags, verify consumption instead of state)
- tb_chirp_controller: mixer tests T7.1/T7.2 updated for Fix#4
- run_regression.sh: PASS/FAIL regex fixed to match only [PASS]/[FAIL]
markers, added E2E test entry
- Updated rx_final_doppler_out.csv golden data
Bug #11: platform_noos_stm32.c used HAL_SPI_Transmit instead of
HAL_SPI_TransmitReceive — reads returned garbage. Changed to in-place
full-duplex. Dead code (never called), fixed per audit recommendation.
Test added: test_bug11_platform_spi_transmit_only.c. Mock infrastructure
updated with SPI spy types. All 11 firmware tests pass.
FPGA B2: Migrated long_chirp_lut[0:3599] from ~700 lines of hardcoded
assignments to BRAM with (* ram_style = "block" *) attribute and
$readmemh("long_chirp_lut.mem"). Added sync-only read block for proper
BRAM inference. 1-cycle read latency introduced. short_chirp_lut left
as distributed RAM (60 entries, too small for BRAM).
FPGA B3: Added BREG (window_val_reg) and MREG (mult_i_raw/mult_q_raw)
pipeline stages to doppler_processor.v. Eliminates DPIP-1 and DPOP-2
DRC warnings. S_LOAD_FFT retimed: fft_input_valid starts at sub=2,
+1 cycle total latency. BREG primed in S_PRE_READ at no extra cost.
Both FPGA files compile clean with Icarus Verilog.
