From ae81dd7302b841f15549661e6a3564039741df89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brandon Schneider Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 14:10:46 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] feat(infra): compile and SRAM-flash UART beacon with reset bypass Synthesized and placed-and-routed the UART beacon design on Tang Nano 9K with physical reset bypassed (rst_n_internal = 1'b1). Programmed the SRAM using openFPGALoader (CRC check: Success). Verified the physical UART blockage due to BL702 bridge firmware limitations via local probe, confirming the virtual serial route (virtual://q16-pty) as the active verification path. Updated scoped AGENTS.md files with the latest hardware status and Lean build baselines.
