Integrate RNG, CRC, WS2812, Crypto, I2S master and the SDIO private AXI owner on SAFE24. Preserve the 128 KiB main SRAM and six private Crypto macros, add product-specific DMA assignments and reject unsupported SDK operations.
Correct APB read strobes, I2S receive assembly and SDIO command timing, backpressure and descriptor retirement. Add pin-level workloads, source-bound evidence checks and publication/commercial consumer compatibility.
Validation of the final P6 worktree: 1726 pytest tests passed with one optional pypdf skip (exit 0, 4021.61 seconds; terminal session 36439). Both PDKs passed both RTL simulators, netlist boot and 38-macro binding checks. Shared formal, Mini compatibility and software/source quality gates passed.
Evidence remains attributed to the retained dirty-worktree snapshots based on b3b30a72cd under build/ics55-tiny-2026-10-12-11-50-2eb98c0e1fae/meta/tiny-r2-p6/. Timing is negative and warning observations are not promoted. This commit does not accept P6, qualify physical operation or enable P7.
Document corrected reset behavior, source-bound evidence, validation commands and both PDK timing observations. Mark the earlier reset repair as superseded while preserving its historical attribution.
Retain explicit limits for workload replay, full-function netlist testing and physical qualification. Human phase acceptance and P6 execution remain separate.
Drain remaining write beats before returning B, retain captured R/B responses, and append missing read error beats through the response spills. Preserve first-error attribution and prevent replay after target reset release.
Cover 28 reset scenarios in both simulators, including production DMA drain and APB bridge cases. Extend reset formal checks and publication contract mutation tests.
Validation: 101 focused tests passed; full Pytest reported 1685 passed and one optional pypdf skip. TINY ICS55 and IHP130 PR regressions passed. Timing remains observational and unclosed; no performance or physical qualification is claimed.
