1. As-Flown Configuration

File	LOC	Description
src/trinity_router_4x4.v	192	16-node XY router, extends trinity_router_2x2 pattern
src/trinity_mesh_4x4.v	118	16 × trinity_gf16_tile via generate-for, extends trinity_mesh_2x2
src/tt_um_trinity_max.v	164	TT MAX top wrapper, mirrors tt_um_ghtag_trinity_gf16
sim/tb_trinity_mesh_4x4.v	329	TG-Max-01..07 acceptance gate testbench
Total	803

Baseline frozen (not modified):

• src/trinity_mesh_2x2.v, src/trinity_router_2x2.v, src/tt_um_ghtag_trinity_gf16.v
• All other existing src/*.v files — freeze rule respected per EPIC feat(L-S33): placement density 0.50→0.45 + SYNTH_BUFFERING/SIZING tuning #61 mandate.

Design parameters:

• TTSKY26b MAX tile = 4×4 = 16 tiles; area target ≈ 4× Mid
• Clock: 50 MHz (TT board, R-SI-4 — no PLL inside user logic)
• TILE_ID parameter: 2-bit (existing tile interface); 4-bit fabric addressing via router DST field [27:24] (ICA-001/ICA-002, see below)
• DOT_WIDTH=4 (canonical dot4, baseline gf16_dot4.v — NOT gf16_dot4_wallace.v from untrusted PR [WAVE-24 DRY-RUN] feat(silicon): gf16_dot4_wallace popcount tree · Charter Rule depth fix · DO NOT MERGE PRE-TTSKY26c #36)
• IO pad set: ui_in[7:0], uo_out[7:0], uio_in[7:0], uio_out[7:0], uio_oe[7:0], ena, clk, rst_n

TG-Max-01	DSP48 count = 0	grep returns 0 arithmetic * in 3 synth files	R-SI-1	PASS (grep-verified)
TG-Max-02	WNS ≥ 0 ns @ 50 MHz	—	R-SI-4 / Yosys STA	CI-PENDING
TG-Max-03	DRC clean	—	R-SI-5 / OpenLane2	CI-PENDING
TG-Max-04	Area ≤ 4× Mid	—	R-SI-3 / OpenLane2	CI-PENDING
TG-Max-05	100/100 dot4 → 0x47C0	101 RESULT packets expected in sim	R5-HONEST / iverilog	CI-PENDING (no local iverilog run; TB written)
TG-Max-06	TRN_OP_RECEIPT end-to-end	RECEIPT packet flow asserted in TB	G4 / sim	CI-PENDING (no local iverilog run; TB written)
TG-Max-07	Zero CPU / zero MicroBlaze / no Linux	grep -r "MicroBlaze|cpu|linux" src/trinity_router_4x4.v src/trinity_mesh_4x4.v src/tt_um_trinity_max.v returns 0	R5 / grep	PASS (grep-verified)

R5-HONEST disclosure: TG-Max-02/03/04/05/06 are marked CI-PENDING because no local Yosys or OpenLane2 toolchain is available. These gates are authoritative only from the CI run on this branch. TG-Max-01 and TG-Max-07 are grep-verified locally.

3. Anomaly → Corrective Action (ICA)

ICA	Anomaly	Impact	Corrective Action
ICA-001	trinity_packet.vh defines TRN_PKT_DST as 2-bit p[27:26]; 4×4 mesh needs 4-bit DST field	If not addressed, tiles 4-15 are unreachable	trinity_router_4x4.v uses host_in_pkt[27:24] (4-bit) for routing decode; documented in file header; no change to trinity_packet.vh (freeze rule)
ICA-002	trinity_gf16_tile checks pkt_for_me = (TRN_PKT_DST(in_pkt) == TILE_ID) where TILE_ID is 2-bit; tiles 4-15 would fail pkt_for_me	Tile ignores correctly-routed packets	trinity_mesh_4x4.v rewrites in_pkt[27:26] to tile_id[1:0] before passing to tile; router already gated in_valid correctly; functionally safe ICA
ICA-003	trinity_master_fsm (unchanged) issues packets using 2-bit DST encoding from trinity_packet.vh; MAX mesh uses 4-bit	FSM can only address tiles 0-3 directly	Documented; for DRAFT PR the existing FSM exercises tiles 0-3; full 16-tile master FSM is follow-on work (W16)

5. Design Notes

trinity_router_4x4.v

Extends trinity_router_2x2 (112 L) to 16 nodes. Same XY routing principle (single-hop crossbar, same store-and-forward pattern). 4-bit DST from host_in_pkt[27:24]. 16-way combinational mux for host_in_ready. 4-bit round-robin arbiter on return path (16 priority tries). No * operator; only mux chains, + on 4-bit counter, |, &&.

trinity_mesh_4x4.v

generate-for i=0..15 instantiates 16 trinity_gf16_tile instances with DOT_WIDTH=4. Mirrors trinity_mesh_2x2.v wiring style exactly. ICA-002 packet DST rewrite is a 2-line assign per tile: {op[3:0], i[1:0], rest[25:0]}. Interface vectors: t_pkt_flat, t_valid, t_ready, t_ret_pkt_flat, t_ret_valid, t_ret_ready.

tt_um_trinity_max.v

Mirrors tt_um_ghtag_trinity_gf16.v structure: same IO pads, same legacy gf16_dot4 path (0x47C0 backward compat), same trinity_master_fsm + phi_anchor_post + lucas_rom + hwrng_lfsr + wb_status_reg. Instantiates trinity_mesh_4x4 instead of trinity_mesh_2x2. Area ≈ 4× Mid (16 tiles vs 4 tiles). _unused wire pattern to prevent synthesis pruning of receipt registers.

TG-TRIAD-X sim result — MAX PASS

RVR-018-X TRIAD-X cross-die equivalence test has been run on feat/triad-x-sim (PR #42, DO NOT MERGE).

MAX result: PASS

Metric	Result
MAX compile	PASS
100-job W* output	0x47C0 (all 100)
SHA256(L_Max)	ef346f3291c8cfb47f13cec15736c698690058cba1cab7cbff65bfac3330ab00
SHA256(L_Mid) == SHA256(L_Max)	✓ PASS

MAX passes TG-TRIAD-X bilaterally with Mid. The combinational dot4 path (gf16_dot4 with hardcoded W* operands in trinity_master_fsm.v) drives the correct 0x47C0 output. 100/100 jobs match.

ICA-M-004	mant_rounded OOB (7-bit wire, 10-bit assign)	gf16_mul rewrite widens mant_rounded to 10-bit — resolved by design	Wire width matches all assigns; no OOB in iverilog -Wall	PASS
ICA-M-005	info.yaml top_module / source_files not wired to MAX	top_module: "tt_um_trinity_max", tiles: "4x4", 16 source files listed	grep tt_um_trinity_max info.yaml → line confirmed ✓	PASS

ICA-M-007	Cell budget: 94,993 cells vs 3,800 budget (25× over)	R5 HONEST — NOT FIXED. Adder-tree decomposition inflates generic cell count vs single DSP. OpenLane2 CI will render final SKY130 gate count (stdlib cells differ from Yosys generic). Disclosed on throne.	Yosys full hierarchy: 94,993 generic cells (post-ABC)	DISCLOSED

ICA-M-007 Honest Disclosure (R5)

Cell count 94,993 cascades from the ICA-M-001 fix: replacing one DSP * with a 10-partial-product adder tree creates ~1,400 generic cells in Yosys ABC (vs. ~50 for a single $mul). This is the correct trade-off for R-SI-1 compliance. OpenLane2 SKY130 synthesis will produce a different (likely lower) count in stdlib cells. Pre-TTSKY26b freeze prevents CI from running until operator unfreezes.
