Ch.33 — JTAG Access on macOS-ARM (BLK-001 RESOLVED)

Master: trios#380 v3.0 GOLDEN STRAND
Part: VI — HARDWARE-NUMERICS STRAND (TIER-1, MEASURED)
Words: 500 · Priority: 🟡 P1 · Owner: GoldenSunWeaver
Source files: flash_no_sudo.sh, flash_safe.sh, troubleshoot log

🎯 Scope (FROZEN, factual hardware data)

§33.1 BLK-001 RESOLVED 2026-03-14: openFPGALoader + DLC10 on macOS-ARM crashed with CPLD 0xFFFE. §33.2 Root cause: sudo openFPGALoader path, libusb root permissions on macOS Ventura+. §33.3 Resolution: flash_no_sudo.sh script avoids sudo path. §33.4 fxload race fix: flash_safe.sh retry-loop for USB re-enumeration 3-5 sec. §33.5 Backup JTAG: ESP32 + WiFi XVC bridge, 50 KB/s. §33.6 Tertiary: DSLogic U2basic 16-ch logic analyzer. §33.7 Open-science contribution: troubleshoot trail published, reproducible.

Renaming for tex (repo paths kept):

• "Sacred Core" → "Period-Locked Runtime Monitor"
• "KOSCHEI" → "KOSCHEI φ-Numeric Coprocessor"
• NO "OS of time"/"ABSOLUTE INFINITY"/"$5M Seed"/Investor Deck

🔑 Falsifiable claims (all measured on real board)

• BLK-001 RESOLVED 2026-03-14
• DLC10 clone (Xilinx Platform Cable USB II), VID 0x03fd PID 0x0013→0x0008 after fxload
• 500 KB/s primary throughput
• ESP32+WiFi XVC backup at 50 KB/s
• Honest: macOS-ARM specific, Linux/Windows paths unaffected

📦 Deliverables

• paper/sections/33_jtag_access_on_macosarm_blk001_resolved.tex

✅ Definition of Done

• Word count 500 ±10%
• All claims = measured numbers from real QMTech XC7A100T board
• Cite Zenodo DOIs as primary
• No commercial overlap (woody-shop, GoldenSunWeaverM, Investor Deck)
• Compile via tectonic
• PR Closes #<this> + green CI

🤖 ONE SHOT directive

A: take Markdown draft, convert to LaTeX, place in target path,
compile, open PR with measured numbers cited from Zenodo.
Hard deadline per priority.
