Gap 2 GUI Settings: runtime chirp timing, stream control gating, status readback (18/18 FPGA, 20/20 MCU)
...
Register map: 0x10-0x15 chirp timing overrides, 0xFF status readback,
0x03 CFAR threshold now wired to actual compare, 0x04 stream control
gates USB write FSM. Status readback sends 7-word packet (0xBB header,
5 status words, 0x55 footer) via toggle CDC.
radar_mode_controller: 6 cfg_* input ports replace hardcoded parameters.
usb_data_interface: stream_control CDC, status_request toggle CDC,
SEND_STATUS state (3'd7), stream gating in IDLE/HEADER/RANGE/DOPPLER.
radar_system_top: 6 host registers + command decode for 0x10-0x15/0xFF.
radar_receiver_final: 6 host_* timing passthrough ports.
Testbench coverage: RMC 81 checks (+TG16 runtime reconfig), USB 77
checks (+TG15 stream gating, TG16 status readback, TG17 chirp opcodes).
Fixed iverilog 13.0 forward-ref for status_req_toggle_100m.

Gap 4 USB Read Path: wire host-to-FPGA command path with toggle CDC, add read path tests
...
- usb_data_interface.v: Add FT601 read FSM (RD_IDLE/OE_ASSERT/READING/
DEASSERT/PROCESS) + cmd_data/valid/opcode/addr/value output ports
- radar_system_top.v: Connect cmd_* ports from usb_inst, add toggle CDC
for cmd_valid (ft601_clk -> clk_100m), add command decode registers
(mode/trigger/cfar_threshold/stream_control), wire host_mode and
host_trigger to rx_inst
- radar_receiver_final.v: Add host_mode[1:0] and host_trigger input
ports, replace hardcoded mode/trigger in radar_mode_controller instance
- tb_usb_data_interface.v: Connect cmd_* ports, add host data bus driver,
add Test Groups 12 (single command), 13 (multiple commands), 14
(read/write interleave). USB TB now has 55 checks.
Regression: 18/18 PASS

Fix CFAR blocking assignment (= to <=) in clocked block, add Build 15 analysis report
...
CFAR magnitude computation in radar_system_top.v used blocking assignment (=)
inside posedge-clocked always block, creating sim/synth mismatch risk. Changed
to non-blocking (<=). Threshold check now reads previous cycle's magnitude,
which is correct sequential behavior. Regression: 15/15 quick + system TB pass.
Build 15 analysis written to 10_docs/reports/ (not tracked — gitignored).

CIC comb pipeline registers, BUFG sim guard, system TB fix, regression runner
...
- cic_decimator_4x_enhanced.v: Add integrator_sampled_comb and
data_valid_comb_pipe pipeline stages between integrator sampling and
comb computation to break the critical path (matches remote 40cda0f)
- radar_system_top.v: Wrap 3 BUFG instances in ifdef SIMULATION guard
with pass-through assigns for iverilog compatibility
- radar_system_tb.v: Convert generate_radar_echo function to task and
move sin_lut declaration before task (iverilog declaration-order fix),
add modular index clamping to prevent LUT out-of-bounds
- run_regression.sh: Automated regression runner for all 18 FPGA
testbenches with --quick mode. Results: 17 pass, 1 pre-existing fail
- .gitignore: Exclude *.vvp, *.vcd simulation artifacts

Fix CDC reset domain bug (P0), strengthen testbenches with 31 structural assertions
...
Split cdc_adc_to_processing reset_n into src_reset_n/dst_reset_n so source
and destination clock domains use correctly-synchronized resets. Previously
cdc_chirp_counter's destination-side sync chain (100MHz) was reset by
sys_reset_120m_n (120MHz domain), causing 30 CDC critical warnings.
RTL changes:
- cdc_modules.v: split reset port, source logic uses src_reset_n,
destination sync chains + output logic use dst_reset_n
- radar_system_top.v: cdc_chirp_counter gets proper per-domain resets
- ddc_400m.v: CDC_FIR_i/q use reset_n_400m (src) and reset_n (dst)
- formal/fv_cdc_adc.v: updated wrapper for new port interface
Build 7 fixes (previously untouched):
- radar_transmitter.v: SPI level-shifter assigns, STM32 GPIO CDC sync
- latency_buffer_2159.v: BRAM read registration
- constraints: ft601 IOB -quiet fix
- tb_latency_buffer.v: updated for BRAM changes
Testbench hardening (tb_cdc_modules.v, +31 new assertions):
- A5-A7: split-domain reset tests (staggered deassertion, independent
dst reset while src active — catches the P0 bug class)
- A8: port connectivity (no X/Z on outputs)
- B7: cdc_single_bit port connectivity
- C6: cdc_handshake reset recovery + port connectivity
Full regression: 13/13 test suites pass (257 total assertions).

Fix all 10 CDC bugs from report_cdc audit, add overflow guard in range_bin_decimator
...
CDC fixes across 6 RTL files based on post-implementation report_cdc analysis:
- P0: sync stm32_mixers_enable and new_chirp_pulse to clk_120m via toggle CDC
in radar_transmitter, add ft601 reset synchronizer and USB holding
registers with proper edge detection in usb_data_interface
- P1: add ASYNC_REG to edge_detector, convert new_chirp_frame to toggle CDC,
fix USB valid edge detect to use fully-synced signal
- P2: register Gray encoding in cdc_adc_to_processing source domain, sync
ft601_txe and stm32_mixers_enable for status_reg in radar_system_top
- Safety: add in_bin_count overflow guard in range_bin_decimator to prevent
downstream BRAM corruption
All 13 regression test suites pass (159 individual tests).

Widen ft601_be to [3:0] for 32-bit FT601 mode, fix NCO XSim TB
...
- Expand ft601_be from [1:0] to [3:0] across RTL, top-level, testbenches,
and XDC (uncomment be[2:3] pin assignments B21/A21)
- Fix NCO XSim testbench: correct reset check (0x7FFF not 0), add pipeline
warmup and sample skip for DSP48E1 quadrature test
- All local regression tests pass (39/39 USB, 10/10 integration, all co-sim)

Achieve timing closure: DSP48E1 pipelines, 4-stage NCO, 28-bit CIC, ASYNC_REG
...
Phase 0+ timing optimization (attempts #13-22 + implementation):
NCO (nco_400m_enhanced.v):
- 4-stage pipeline: DSP48E1 accumulate -> LUT read -> negate -> quadrant MUX
- DSP48E1 phase accumulator in P=P+C mode (eliminates 8-stage CARRY4 chain)
- Registered phase_inc_dithered to break cascaded 32-bit add path
DDC (ddc_400m.v):
- Direct DSP48E1 instantiation for I/Q mixers (AREG=1, BREG=1, MREG=1, PREG=1)
- CEP=1, RSTP=!reset_n for proper pipeline control
- 3-stage dsp_valid_pipe for PREG=1 latency
- Behavioral sim model under ifdef SIMULATION for Icarus compatibility
CIC (cic_decimator_4x_enhanced.v):
- 28-bit accumulators (was 36) per CIC width formula: 18 + 5*log2(4) = 28
- Removed integrator/comb saturation (CIC uses wrapping arithmetic by design)
- Pipelined output saturation comparison
CDC/ASYNC_REG:
- ASYNC_REG attribute on all CDC synchronizer registers (cdc_modules.v,
radar_system_top.v, usb_data_interface.v)
- Sync reset in generate blocks (cdc_modules.v)
Results: Vivado post-implementation WNS=+1.196ns, 0 failing endpoints,
850 LUTs (1.34%), 466 FFs (0.37%), 2 DSP48E1 (0.83%) on xc7a100t.
All testbenches pass: 241/244 (3 known stub failures).

Fix CDC timing violations: add synchronizers for all inter-clock crossings
...
Resolve all 4 inter-clock timing violations found in Vivado synthesis
attempt #11 (WNS was -2.552 ns). Changes:
- Add reset synchronizer for clk_120m_dac domain (2-FF chain)
- Add Gray-code CDC for chirp_counter (6-bit, 120MHz->100MHz)
- Add single-bit CDC for new_chirp_frame (3-stage, 120MHz->100MHz)
- Add 2-stage input synchronizers for valid signals in USB module
(clk_100m->ft601_clk_in) with data capture on rising edge
- Fix ft601_clk_out multi-driven net (removed duplicate assignment)
- Update XDC: set_max_delay -datapath_only for CDC, false_path for reset
Result: Vivado attempt #12 passes with 0 errors, 0 timing violations,
and 'All user specified timing constraints are met.' (WNS +0.983 ns)
