AAD-50 v1.1 — USB Enclosure Support + Three-Tier Passthrough

The Abeselom ASIC-Direct 50 (AAD-50)

Firmware-Enforced NVMe Sanitization Framework — v1.1

What's New in v1.1

• USB enclosure support — NVMe drives in USB 3.x enclosures (UASP) now fully supported on Windows and Linux
• Three-tier passthrough auto-detection — tool automatically probes and selects the best available pathway:
  • Tier 1: NVMe direct (M.2/PCIe + UASP enclosures with NVMe passthrough)
  • Tier 2: ATA SANITIZE via SCSI/SAT (USB enclosures with UASP)
  • Tier 3: blkdiscard / Storage reinitialize fallback
• Pathway recorded in audit report — every cycle log shows which tier was used
• GUI updated — pathway shown in telemetry stream and completion summary
• Dry-run confirmed — 50/50 cycles, SHA-256 verified, PDF Certificate generated

What's Included

• AAD50.exe — Standalone Windows application (no Python required)
  • Runs on Windows 10 1607+ / Windows 11
  • Must be run as Administrator
• aad50_abeselom.py — Linux stable implementation (v1.1)
• aad50_abeselom_windows.py — Windows CLI (v1.1 Beta)
• aad50_gui_windows.py — Windows GUI (v1.1 Beta)

SHA-256 Audit Hash (GUI dry-run validation)
