We can use probes with population axons with this change, so we should enable and test that: nengo-loihi/nengo_loihi/hardware/builder.py Line 438 in 92d85d3 |

This allows population axons between chips, fewer problems when using probes with population axons, and greatly simplifies axon building.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't really know the nxsdk population axon system well enough to evaluate the implementation, but I trust that the unit tests are at least assuring us that nothing is real broken 😄. Just some minor comments, otherwise looks good!
This allows much larger connections where the weights are diagonal (e.g. connecting 500 neurons to 500 neurons with a scalar transform).
Also explain why probing the `pre` of such a connection is not supported.

Allow population spikes between chips. This allows convolutional connections from chip to chip.
