+
+This module is a pure data + helpers library imported by the cross-layer
+test suite (`9_Firmware/tests/cross_layer/test_cross_layer_contract.py`,
+class `TestTier2Adar1000VmTableGroundTruth`). It has no CLI entry point
+and no side effects on import beyond the structural assertion on the
+table length.
+
+Ground-truth source
+-------------------
+The 128-entry `(I, Q)` byte pairs below are transcribed from the ADAR1000
+datasheet Rev. B, Tables 13-16, page 34 ("Phase Shifter Programming"),
+which is the primary normative reference. The same values appear in the
+Analog Devices Linux beamformer driver
+(`drivers/iio/beamformer/adar1000.c`, `adar1000_phase_values[]`) and were
+cross-checked against that driver as a secondary, independent
+transcription. The byte values are factual data (5-bit unsigned magnitude
+in bits[4:0], polarity bit at bit[5], bits[7:6] reserved zero); no
+copyrightable creative expression. Only the datasheet is the
+licensing-relevant source.
+
+PLFM_RADAR firmware indexing convention
+---------------------------------------
+`adarSetRxPhase` / `adarSetTxPhase` in
+`9_Firmware/9_1_Microcontroller/9_1_1_C_Cpp_Libraries/ADAR1000_Manager.cpp`
+write `VM_I[phase % 128]` and `VM_Q[phase % 128]` to the chip. Each index
+N corresponds to commanded beam phase `N * 360/128 = N * 2.8125 deg`. The
+ADI table is also on a uniform 2.8125 deg grid (verified by
+`check_uniform_2p8125_deg_step` below), so a 1:1 mapping is correct:
+PLFM index N == ADI table row N.

Jason	27b55f37dc	Merge pull request #108 from NawfalMotii79/fix/adar1000-channel-rotation fix(adar1000): correct 1-based channel indexing in setters (issue #90)	2026-04-18 06:00:52 +03:00
Jason	582476fa0d	fix(adar1000): correct 1-based channel indexing in setters (issue #90 ) The four channel-indexed ADAR1000 setters (adarSetRxPhase, adarSetTxPhase, adarSetRxVgaGain, adarSetTxVgaGain) computed their register offset as `(channel & 0x03) * stride`, which silently aliased CH4 (channel=4 -> mask=0) onto CH1 and shifted CH1..CH3 by one. The API contract (1-based CH1..CH4) is documented in ADAR1000_AGC.cpp:76 and matches the ADI datasheet; every existing caller already passes `ch + 1`. Fix: subtract 1 before masking -- `((channel - 1) & 0x03) * stride` -- and reject `channel < 1 \|\| channel > 4` early with a DIAG message so a future stale 0-based caller fails loudly instead of writing to CH4. Adds TestTier1Adar1000ChannelRegisterRoundTrip (9 tests) which closes the loop independently of the driver: - parses the ADI register map directly from ADAR1000_Manager.h, - verifies the datasheet stride invariants (gain=1, phase=2), - auto-discovers every C++ TU under MCU_LIB_DIR / MCU_CODE_DIR so a new caller cannot silently escape the round-trip check, - asserts every caller's channel argument evaluates to {1,2,3,4} for ch in {0,1,2,3} (catches bare 0-based or literal-0 callers at CI time before the runtime bounds-check would silently drop them), - round-trips each (caller, ch) through the helper arithmetic and checks the final address equals REG_CH{ch+1}_*. Adversarially validated: reverting any one helper, all four helpers, corrupting the parsed register map, injecting a bare-ch caller, and auto-discovering a literal-0 caller in a fresh TU each cause the expected (and only the expected) test to fail. Stacked on fix/adar1000-vm-tables (PR #107).	2026-04-18 06:39:07 +05:45
Jason	7c91a3e0b9	fix(adar1000): populate VM_I/VM_Q phase tables; remove dead VM_GAIN The ADAR1000 vector-modulator I/Q lookup tables VM_I[128] and VM_Q[128] were declared but defined as empty initialiser lists since the first commit (`5fbe97f`). Every call to adarSetRxPhase / adarSetTxPhase therefore wrote (I=0x00, Q=0x00) to registers 0x21/0x23 (Rx) and 0x32/0x34 (Tx) regardless of the requested phase state, leaving beam steering completely non-functional in firmware. This commit: * Populates VM_I[128] and VM_Q[128] from ADAR1000 datasheet Rev. B Tables 13-16 (p.34) on a uniform 2.8125 deg grid (360 / 128 states). Byte format: bits[7:6] reserved 0, bit[5] polarity (1 = positive lobe), bits[4:0] 5-bit unsigned magnitude - exactly as specified. * Removes VM_GAIN[128] declaration and (empty) definition. The ADAR1000 has no separate VM gain register; per-channel VGA gain is set via CHx_RX_GAIN (0x10-0x13) / CHx_TX_GAIN (0x1C-0x1F) by adarSetRxVgaGain / adarSetTxVgaGain. VM_GAIN was never populated, never read anywhere in the firmware, and its presence falsely suggested a missing scaling step in the signal path. * Adds 9_Firmware/tests/cross_layer/adar1000_vm_reference.py: an independently-derived ground-truth module containing the full datasheet table plus byte-format / uniform-grid / quadrant-symmetry / cardinal-point invariant checkers and a tolerant C array parser. * Adds TestTier2Adar1000VmTableGroundTruth (9 tests) to test_cross_layer_contract.py, including a tokenising C/C++ comment+string stripper used by the VM_GAIN reintroduction guard, and an adversarial self-test that corrupts one byte and asserts the comparison detects it (defends against silent bypass via future fixture/parser refactors). Adversarially validated: removing the firmware definitions, flipping a single byte, or reintroducing VM_GAIN as code each cause the suite to fail; restoring causes it to pass. VM_GAIN appearing inside string literals or comments correctly does NOT trip the guard. Closes the empty-table half of the ADAR1000 phase-control bug class. The separate channel-rotation issue (#90) will be addressed in a follow-up PR. Refs: 7_Components Datasheets and Application notes/ADAR1000.pdf Rev. B Tables 13-16 p.34	2026-04-18 02:02:07 +05:45

Jason	5d5e9ff297	docs(readme): correct BOM sensor counts and locations The STM32 peripheral list in the README disagreed with the production BOM (4_7_Production Files/Gerber_Main_Board/RADAR_Main_Board_BOM_csv) and with the firmware (9_1_Microcontroller/.../main.cpp). Corrections based on origin/main commit `754d919`: - ADS7830 Idq ADCs: placed on the Main Board (U88 @ 0x48, U89 @ 0x4A), not on the Power Amplifier Boards. Added the INA241A3 (x50) and 5 mOhm shunt detail that completes the current-sense chain. - DAC5578 Vg DACs: placed on the Main Board (U7 @ 0x48, U69 @ 0x49), not on the Power Amplifier Boards. Noted closed-loop Idq calibration at boot (main.cpp powerUpSequence). - Temperature sensors: 1x ADS7830 (U10) with 8 single-ended channels reading 8 thermistors -- not 8 separate ADS7830 chips. Cooling is a single GPIO (EN_DIS_COOLING), bang-bang, not PWM. - GPS: reflect the UM982 driver merged in #79 and its role in per-detection position tagging beyond map centering. Counts now match the 3x ADS7830 / 2x DAC5578 / 16x INA241A3 population in the production BOM.	2026-04-17 20:04:01 +05:45

Serhii	8e1b3f22d2	chore(mcu): remove dead C-style adar1000 driver The firmware uses the C++ ADAR1000_Manager class exclusively. The C-style driver pair (adar1000.c, 693 LoC; adar1000.h, 294 LoC) has no external call sites: grep -rn "Adar_Set\|Adar_Read\|Adar_Write\|Adar_Soft" 9_Firmware grep -rn "AdarDevice\|AdarBiasCurrents\|AdarDeviceInfo" 9_Firmware Both return hits only inside adar1000.c/h themselves. ADAR1000_Manager.h has its own copies of REG_CH1_, REG_INTERFACE_CONFIG_A, etc. and does not include adar1000.h. main.cpp had a lone #include "adar1000.h" but referenced no symbols from it; the REG_ macros it uses resolve through ADAR1000_Manager.h on the next line. No behaviour change: the deleted code was unreachable. Side note on #90: adar1000.c contained a second copy of the REG_CH1_* + (channel & 0x03) channel-rotation pattern tracked in #90 (lines 349, 397-398, 472, 520-521). This commit does not fix #90 -- the live path in ADAR1000_Manager.cpp still needs the channel-index fix -- but it removes the dormant copy so the bug has one less place to hide. Verification: - 9_Firmware/9_1_Microcontroller/tests: make clean && make -> all passing (51/51 UM982 GPS, 24/24 driver, 13/13 ADAR1000_AGC, bugs #1-15, Gap-3 fixes 1-5, safety fixes) - 9_Firmware/tests/cross_layer: 29 passed - grep -rn "adar1000\.h\|adar1000\.c\|Adar_\|AdarDevice" 9_Firmware: 0 hits	2026-04-16 22:12:23 +03:00
Serhii	15ae940be5	test(cross-layer): enforce 2-frame DIG_6 debounce guard on outerAgc.enabled PR #93 added a 2-frame confirmation debounce so a single-sample GPIO glitch cannot flip MCU outer-loop AGC state. The debounce is load-bearing for the "prevents a single-sample glitch" guarantee in the PR body, but no existing test enforces its structure — test_mcu_reads_dig6_before_agc_gate only checks that HAL_GPIO_ReadPin(FPGA_DIG6, ...) and `outerAgc.enabled =` appear somewhere in main.cpp, which a naive direct assignment would still pass. Add test_mcu_dig6_debounce_guards_enable_assignment to TestTier1AgcCrossLayerInvariant, verifying four structural invariants of the debounce: 1. Current DIG_6 sample captured in a local variable 2. Static previous-frame variable defaulting to false (matches FPGA boot: host_agc_enable resets 0) 3. outerAgc.enabled assignment gated by `now == prev` 4. Previous-frame variable advanced each frame Verified test fails on a naive patch that removes the guard and passes on the current PR #93 implementation. Full cross-layer suite stays at 0 failures (36/36 pass locally).	2026-04-16 21:29:37 +03:00
Jason	658752abb7	fix: propagate FPGA AGC enable to MCU outer loop via DIG_6 GPIO Resolve cross-layer AGC control mismatch where opcode 0x28 only controlled the FPGA inner-loop AGC but the STM32 outer-loop AGC (ADAR1000_AGC) ran independently with its own enable state. FPGA: Drive gpio_dig6 from host_agc_enable instead of tied low, making the FPGA register the single source of truth for AGC state. MCU: Change ADAR1000_AGC constructor default from enabled(true) to enabled(false) so boot state matches FPGA reset default (AGC off). Read DIG_6 GPIO every frame with 2-frame confirmation debounce to sync outerAgc.enabled — prevents single-sample glitch from causing spurious AGC state transitions. Tests: Update MCU unit tests for new default, add 6 cross-layer contract tests verifying the FPGA-MCU-GUI AGC invariant chain.	2026-04-17 00:04:37 +05:45

Verilog '/' binds tighter than '-', so {1'b0,8'hFF,9'b0}/2 = 0x1FE00/2 = 0xFF00, not 0xFF<<8 = 0x7F80.	2026-04-16 11:07:56 +05:45
Jason	ae7643975d	fix(ci): fail hard when required tools missing in CI Silently skipping Tier 2/3 tests in CI defeats the purpose of running them.

JunghwanNA	029df375f5	fix(test): break on unknown signal in count_concat_bits When an unknown signal is encountered, total is set to -1 but the loop continues. Subsequent known signals add their widths to -1, producing incorrect totals (e.g. -1 + 16 = 15 instead of -1). This can mask genuine truncation bugs in status word packing.	2026-04-16 12:27:10 +09:00
JunghwanNA	a9ceb3c851	fix(cosim): align golden_reference ADC sign conversion with RTL The golden reference used (adc_val - 128) << 9 which subtracts 65536, but the Verilog RTL computes {1'b0,adc,9'b0} - {1'b0,8'hFF,9'b0}/2 which subtracts 0xFF00 = 65280. This creates a constant 256-LSB DC offset between the golden reference and RTL for all 256 ADC values. The bit-accurate model in fpga_model.py already uses the correct RTL formula. This aligns golden_reference.py to match. Verified: all 256 ADC input values now produce zero offset against fpga_model.py.	2026-04-16 12:27:02 +09:00
JunghwanNA	425c349184	fix(ci): use PATH-based iverilog/vvp discovery for cross-layer tests The default IVERILOG and VVP paths were hardcoded to macOS Homebrew locations (/opt/homebrew/bin/iverilog). On Ubuntu CI runners, apt installs iverilog to /usr/bin/, so the Path.exists() check returns False and all Tier 2 Verilog cosim tests are silently skipped.

Jason	db4e73577e	fix: use authoritative tx frame signal for frame sync, consistent ad9523 error path FPGA-001: The previous fix derived frame boundaries from chirp_counter==0, but that counter comes from plfm_chirp_controller_enhanced which overflows to N (not wrapping at chirps_per_elev). This caused frame pulses only on 6-bit rollover (every 64 chirps) instead of every N chirps. Now wires the CDC-synchronized tx_new_chirp_frame_sync signal from the transmitter into radar_receiver_final, giving correct per-frame timing for any N. STM32-004: Changed ad9523_init() failure path from Error_Handler() to return -1, matching the pattern used by ad9523_setup() and ad9523_status() in the same function. Both halt the system, but return -1 keeps IRQs enabled for diagnostic output.	2026-04-16 00:33:27 +05:45

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.	2026-04-16 00:13:45 +05:45
