STM32-006: Remove blocking do-while loop that waited for legacy GUI start
flag — production V7 PyQt GUI never sends it, hanging the MCU at boot.
STM32-004: Check ad9523_init() return code and call Error_Handler() on
failure, matching the pattern used by all other hardware init calls.
FPGA-001: Simplify frame boundary detection to only trigger on
chirp_counter wrap-to-zero. Previous conditions checking == N and == 2N
were unreachable dead code (counter wraps at N-1). Now correct for any
chirps_per_elev value.
- Rename ERROR_STEPPER_FAULT → ERROR_STEPPER_MOTOR to match main.cpp enum
- Update critical-error predicate to include ERROR_TEMPERATURE_HIGH and
ERROR_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (was testing stale pre-fix logic)
- Test 4 now asserts overtemp DOES trigger e-stop (previously asserted opposite)
- Add Test 5 (watchdog triggers e-stop) and Test 6 (memory alloc does not)
- Add ERROR_MEMORY_ALLOC and ERROR_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT to local enum
- 7 tests, all pass
The previous commit accidentally introduced the literal 2-byte sequence
'\r' at the end of two backslash-continuation lines (TESTS_STANDALONE
and the .PHONY list). GNU make on Linux treats that as text rather than
a line continuation, which orphans the following line with leading
spaces and aborts CI with:
Makefile:68: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?)
Strip the extraneous 'r' so each continuation ends with a real backslash
+ LF.
handleSystemError() only called Emergency_Stop() for error codes in
[ERROR_RF_PA_OVERCURRENT .. ERROR_POWER_SUPPLY] (9..13). Two critical
faults were left out of the gate and fell through to attemptErrorRecovery()'s
default log-and-continue branch:
- ERROR_TEMPERATURE_HIGH (14): raised by checkSystemHealth() when the
hottest of 8 PA thermal sensors exceeds 75 C. Without cutting bias
(DAC CLR) and the PA 5V0/5V5/RFPA_VDD rails, the 10 W GaN QPA2962
stages remain biased in an overtemperature state -- a thermal-runaway
path in AERIS-10E.
- ERROR_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (16): indicates the health-check loop has
stalled (>60 s since last pass). Transmitter state is unknown;
relying on IWDG to reset the MCU re-runs startup and re-energises
the PA rails rather than latching the safe state.
Fix: extend the critical-error predicate so these two codes also trigger
Emergency_Stop(). Add test_gap3_overtemp_emergency_stop.c covering all
17 SystemError_t values (must-trigger and must-not-trigger), wired into
tests/Makefile alongside the existing gap-3 safety tests.
Implements the STM32 outer-loop AGC (ADAR1000_AGC) that reads the FPGA
saturation flag on DIG_5/PD13 once per radar frame and adjusts the
ADAR1000 VGA common gain across all 16 RX channels.
Phase 4 — ADAR1000_AGC class (new files):
- ADAR1000_AGC.h/.cpp: attack/recovery/holdoff logic, per-channel
calibration offsets, effectiveGain() with OOB safety
- test_agc_outer_loop.cpp: 13 tests covering saturation, holdoff,
recovery, clamping, calibration, SPI spy, reset, mixed sequences
Phase 5 — main.cpp integration:
- Added #include and global outerAgc instance
- AGC update+applyGain call between runRadarPulseSequence() and
HAL_IWDG_Refresh() in main loop
Build system & shim fixes:
- Makefile: added CXX/CXXFLAGS, C++ object rules, TESTS_WITH_CXX in
ALL_TESTS (21 total tests)
- stm32_hal_mock.h: const uint8_t* for HAL_UART_Transmit (C++ compat),
__NOP() macro for host builds
- shims/main.h + real main.h: FPGA_DIG5_SAT pin defines
All tests passing: MCU 21/21, GUI 92/92, cross-layer 29/29.
Bug 1 (FPGA): status_words[0] was 37 bits (8+3+2+5+3+16), silently
truncated to 32. Restructured to {0xFF, mode[1:0], stream[2:0],
3'b000, threshold[15:0]} = 32 bits exactly. Fixed in both
usb_data_interface_ft2232h.v and usb_data_interface.v.
Bug 2 (Python): radar_mode extracted at bit 21 but was actually at
bit 24 after truncation — always returned 0. Updated shift/mask in
parse_status_packet() to match new layout (mode>>22, stream>>19).
Bug 3 (STM32): parseFromUSB() minimum size check was 74 bytes but
9 doubles + uint32 + markers = 82 bytes. Buffer overread on last
fields when 74-81 bytes passed.
All 166 tests pass (29 cross-layer, 92 GUI, 20 MCU, 25 FPGA).
B12: PA IDQ calibration loop condition inverted (< 0.2 -> > 0.2) for both DAC1/DAC2
B13: DAC2 ADC buffer mismatch — reads from hadc2 now correctly stored to adc2_readings
B14: DIAG_SECTION macro call sites changed from 2-arg to 1-arg form (4 sites)
B15: htim3 definition + MX_TIM3_Init() added (PWM mode, CH2+CH3, Period=999)
B16: Removed stale NO-OP annotation on TriggerTimedSync (already fixed in Bug #3)
B17: Updated stale GPIO-only warnings to reflect TIM3 PWM implementation (Bug #5)
All 15 tests pass (11 original + 4 new for B12-B15).
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.
Bug #9: Both TX and RX SPI init params had platform_ops = NULL, causing
adf4382_init() -> no_os_spi_init() to fail with -EINVAL. Fixed by setting
platform_ops = &stm32_spi_ops and passing stm32_spi_extra with correct CS
port/pin for each device.
Bug #10: stm32_spi_write_and_read() never toggled chip select. Since TX
and RX ADF4382A share SPI4, every register write hit both PLLs. Rewrote
stm32_spi.c to assert CS LOW before transfer and deassert HIGH after,
using stm32_spi_extra metadata. Backward-compatible: legacy callers
(e.g., AD9523) with cs_port=NULL skip CS management.
Also widened chip_select from uint8_t to uint16_t in no_os_spi.h since
STM32 GPIO_PIN_xx values (e.g., GPIO_PIN_14=0x4000) overflow uint8_t.
10/10 tests pass (8 original + 2 new regression tests).
Observe-before-fix instrumentation for bench bring-up: adds timestamped
DIAG logging to the AD9523 clock config, ADF4382A LO manager, power
sequencing, lock monitoring, temperature monitoring, and safe-mode entry.
Annotates known bugs (double ad9523_setup call, timed-sync init ordering,
TriggerTimedSync no-op, phase-shift before init-check, last_check timer
collision) without changing any runtime behavior.
