No code. No changes.** + +- Investigate the problem area: structure, patterns, dependencies, existing tests +- **WebSearch: Who has already solved this problem? How did they solve it? What is the most efficient known solution?** Don't reinvent — find the best existing approach first. +- **Analyze all findings and make a conclusion: which solution is the BEST and why.** The research artifact must end with a clear recommendation, not just a list of options. +- Save to `thoughts/research/YYYY-MM-DD-.md` + (see `templates/research.md` for format) + +--- + +## Stage 2: Spec / PRD + +**Mode: Write specs only. No code.** + +**Spec = WHAT and WHY. Not how. Spec = contract.** + +- Read Research Artifact from `thoughts/research/` +- Create `specs/YYYY-MM-DD-.md` + (see `templates/spec.md` for format) +- Key sections: Problem, Goal, Scope, Acceptance Criteria, Constraints, Non-Goals + +**Skip for size S tasks.** + +--- + +## Stage 3: Planning + Questions + +**Mode: Write plans only. No code yet.** + +- Read **both** Spec (`specs/`) and Research (`thoughts/research/`) +- Find gaps: what's unthought? What edge cases? What could break? +- **Be creative and proactive: anticipate ALL possible problems BEFORE writing code.** Think several steps ahead. What could go wrong in a week? A month? Under load? With unexpected user behavior? Solve problems before they exist. +- **WebSearch: How have others solved this exact problem? What libraries/patterns exist? What's the proven best practice?** Choose the most efficient solution, not the first one that comes to mind. +- After verifying the approach — **rewrite the plan into an improved version** incorporating all findings, edge cases, and research results. Not just patch it — rewrite it better. + +### Challenge Loop (mandatory before finalizing plan) + +``` +Before finalizing the plan, answer 3 questions: + +1. DOES THIS SOLVE THE PROBLEM? + Compare every plan item against acceptance criteria from spec. + If any criterion is uncovered — the plan is incomplete. + +2. IS THIS THE MOST EFFICIENT SOLUTION? + Search: who has already solved this problem? What approach did they use? + Name 2-3 alternative approaches (including ones found via research). + For each: pros, cons, effort. + Justify why the chosen approach is better than all alternatives. + +3. IS THERE "CODE FOR CODE'S SAKE"? + Every change must directly serve acceptance criteria. + If a change isn't tied to solving the problem — remove it. + Drive-by refactoring = separate task, not part of this one. +``` + +### Review Cycle +1.

Create/switch to feature branch: `feature/` +2. Update status → `in_progress` +3. **TDD**: tests FIRST (red) +4. **Implement**: code to make tests pass (green) +5. **Refactor** (if needed) +6. **Self-Audit** (Stage 5) +7. **Verification** (Stage 6) +8. **Impact Analysis** (Stage 7) +9. **Gates** (see Gates section) +10. **Commit** — one commit per logical change, descriptive message +11. Status → `completed`, write to Changelog +12. **Handoff** (write `progress/-handoff.md`, see `templates/handoff.md`) + +--- + +## Stage 5: Self-Audit (after each phase) + +**Mandatory BEFORE marking `completed`:** + +``` +Check the phase implementation: + +1. SPEC COMPLIANCE + Open spec. Walk through every acceptance criterion. + For each: implemented? Where exactly in code? + If any not covered — finish it. + +2. CHALLENGE THE SOLUTION + Look at the written code with fresh eyes. + Does this actually solve the problem from spec? + Is there a simpler/more efficient way? + Any "code for code's sake" — changes unrelated to the task? +``` + +--- + +## Stage 6: Verification — Deep Bug Hunt + +**Not just linting. Thoughtful review with false-positive filtering.** + +### Step 1: Find errors +``` +Check ALL code from this phase for: +- Logic errors (wrong conditions, off-by-one, race conditions) +- Data handling (null/undefined, type mismatches) +- Security (injection, auth bypass, exposed secrets) +- Performance (N+1 queries, memory leaks, unnecessary allocations) +- Docker: health check failures, volume mount conflicts, port collisions +- Infrastructure: Traefik label typos, routing priority conflicts +``` + +### Step 2: Verify bugs are REAL +``` +For EACH found bug: +1. Is this a REAL bug or a false positive? +2. Can you prove this bug is reproducible? +3. If you can't prove it — it's NOT a bug. Don't touch it. + +RULE: Don't fix code "for beauty" or "just in case". +Fix ONLY proven bugs that actually affect functionality. +Every "fix" without proof = risk of introducing a new bug. +``` + +### Step 3: Logic and efficiency check +``` +Final code cleanliness check: +- Logic: is the data flow correct from input to output? +- Efficiency: any redundant operations? +- Readability: is the code understandable without comments? +BUT: don't refactor "for beauty". Only if it affects correctness. +``` + +--- + +## Stage 7: Impact Analysis — "Did we break anything?" + +**The most underestimated stage. 75% of AI agents break previously working code.** + +``` +MANDATORY CHECK BEFORE MERGE: + +1. REGRESSION + What other modules/functions depend on changed files? + Run ALL project tests (not just current phase). + If anything broke — this is priority #1. + +2. SIDE EFFECTS + Did any contracts/interfaces change (API, props, types)? + If yes — who uses them? Are all consumers updated? + Docker: did any service ports, volumes, or network names change? + Traefik: do routing rules still resolve correctly? + +3. THINK AHEAD + What problems could these changes cause in a week/month? + Edge cases we haven't tested? + What happens with: zero data? Huge data? Concurrent requests? + What if the user does something unexpected? + +4. COMPATIBILITY + Backward compatibility preserved? + Data migrations needed? + Docker volume data backward-compatible with new container version? + Feature flags needed for gradual rollout? +``` + +--- + +## Stage 8: Integration Check + +- All phases `completed` → run gates across entire project +- Audit: everything from spec implemented? +- Every acceptance criterion → fulfilled? + +--- + +## Stage 9: Code Review (fresh perspective) + +**Review as if seeing this code for the first time.** + +See `agents/code-reviewer.md` for the full review checklist. + +Key areas: +- Edge cases, race conditions, backward compat, security, error handling, performance +- Docker/Compose: service dependencies, restart policies, resource limits +- Infrastructure: Traefik routing, TLS configuration, firewall rules + +**Warning**: AI reviewing its own code has blind spots. For critical infrastructure changes — flag for human review. + +--- + +## Stage 10: Security Scan (for M and L) + +```bash +# SonarQube analysis (preferred — already in the stack) +# Push to Gitea → Gitea Actions triggers SonarQube scan + +# Alternative: local semgrep +semgrep --config=auto . +``` + +For Docker/Compose changes, additionally check: +- No secrets in compose.yaml or Dockerfiles (use .env or Gitea Secrets) +- Images from trusted registries only +- No privileged containers without justification +- Network segmentation: services not exposed beyond what's needed + +--- + +## Stage 11: Fixes + Re-verification + +If review/scan found issues: +1. Fix (only proven bugs — rule from Stage 6) +2. Re-run gates +3. Repeat Impact Analysis (Stage 7) — fixes didn't break anything else? +4.

Document the safe state per pin in a comment block at the top of `board_gpio_init()` +- **No pin may be left in an intermediate state during init** — configure all GPIOs in a single `board_gpio_init()` function called as the first operation in `app_main`/`main`, before any peripheral init + +### Watchdog Strategy +- Watchdog timer (WDT) MUST be **configured and ready** in all builds, but **enabled only in release** +- Gate WDT activation behind `#ifdef NDEBUG` or a dedicated `#ifdef RELEASE_BUILD` define +- In debug builds, WDT config runs but the timer is not started — this allows timing verification without hard resets during development +- In release builds (`-DRELEASE_BUILD`), WDT is started immediately after all tasks are confirmed running +- WDT timeout must be documented and justified (typically 2–5× the longest expected task cycle) +- Every RTOS task must explicitly feed the WDT — never rely on idle task feeding alone + +```c +/* Watchdog configuration — runs in all builds, armed only in release */ +static void wdt_init(void) { + esp_task_wdt_config_t wdt_cfg = { + .timeout_ms = 5000, + .idle_core_mask = 0, /* don't watch idle tasks */ + .trigger_panic = true, + }; + ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_task_wdt_reconfigure(&wdt_cfg)); +#ifdef RELEASE_BUILD + /* Arm WDT only after full system init is verified */ + ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_task_wdt_add(NULL)); + ESP_LOGI(TAG, "WDT armed — release build"); +#else + ESP_LOGW(TAG, "WDT configured but NOT armed — debug build"); +#endif +} +``` + +### Brown-out Testing (Mandatory) +- **Every firmware deliverable must be validated against brown-out conditions** before release +- Test matrix must cover: power-on at low voltage (below BOD threshold), voltage sag during flash write, voltage sag during RF TX burst (ESP32/nRF), and slow ramp-up (<100mV/ms) +- ESP32: configure `CONFIG_ESP_BROWNOUT_DET_LVL` and verify behavior with BOD ISR logging +- STM32: enable `PWR_PVDLevelx` and validate PVD interrupt handler for graceful shutdown +- Nordic: test with `NRF_POWER->POFCON` at all threshold levels +- Brown-out recovery MUST NOT corrupt NVS/flash — validate with a power-cycle stress test (≥1000 cycles at threshold voltage) + +### Volatile & Concurrency Correctness +- **Every variable shared between ISR and main context MUST be `volatile`** — the compiler will optimize away reads/writes without it +- `volatile` alone is NOT sufficient for multi-word atomicity — use critical sections (`taskENTER_CRITICAL` / `__disable_irq`) for >32-bit shared data on Cortex-M +- For RTOS inter-task shared data, prefer queues/semaphores over shared variables — if shared variables are unavoidable, protect with mutex and document the locking protocol in a comment +- **Never perform non-atomic read-modify-write on hardware registers from both ISR and task context** — use dedicated bit-set/bit-clear registers (BSRR on STM32) or critical sections +- Compiler barriers: after writes to MMIO regions, use `__DSB()` (data synchronization barrier) before expecting the hardware to react; use `__ISB()` after modifying system control registers (SCB, MPU, NVIC priority) + +### Integer Safety +- **All arithmetic on unsigned types that could overflow MUST have explicit pre-condition checks** — check before the operation, not after +- Signed integer overflow is UB in C — never rely on wrap-around behavior; use unsigned types for counters, timestamps, and bitfields +- **Implicit promotion pitfalls**: on 16-bit MCUs (MSP430, AVR), `uint8_t + uint8_t` promotes to `int` (16-bit signed) — this is correct on 32-bit targets but can cause sign-extension bugs on 16-bit. Always cast back to expected type after arithmetic +- When comparing signed and unsigned, cast the signed operand explicitly — do not rely on implicit conversion rules +- Use `` types (`uint32_t`, `int16_t`) everywhere — never use bare `int`, `short`, `long` in firmware + +### Peripheral Init Ordering +- **Clock tree first** — enable oscillator, PLL, and peripheral clocks before touching any peripheral register. On STM32: `RCC->AHBxENR` / `RCC->APBxENR` bits, then wait at least 2 APB clock cycles (read-back the register) before accessing the peripheral +- **Power domain before clock** — on SoCs with switchable power domains (nRF53, STM32U5), enable the power domain, wait for ready flag, then enable clocks +- **Reset peripheral before config** — assert and deassert reset via `RCC->AHBxRSTR` on STM32 to ensure clean state, especially after a warm boot +- **GPIO alternate function AFTER peripheral config** — configure the peripheral's registers first, then route the GPIO pins. This prevents glitches on output pins during peripheral initialization +- **Document the init order** in a comment block: `/* Init order: RCC → PWR → GPIO (safe defaults) → Peripheral config → GPIO AF → Interrupts → DMA */` + +### Security Hardening +- **Debug interfaces (SWD/JTAG) MUST be disabled in release builds** — ESP32: eFuse `JTAG_DISABLE`; STM32: RDP Level 1 or flash option bytes `nSWBOOT0`; nRF: APPROTECT in UICR +- **Firmware update integrity** — all OTA images must be verified with SHA-256 hash + signature (ECDSA-P256 minimum) before flashing. Never accept unsigned firmware +- **Secrets in flash** — encryption keys, API tokens, and device certificates must reside in secure storage (ESP32: NVS encryption + flash encryption; STM32: OTP or secure enclave; nRF: CryptoCell KMU). Never store secrets as plaintext const arrays +- **Input validation** — all data from external interfaces (UART, BLE, Wi-Fi, I2C slave) must be bounds-checked and sanitized before processing. Treat every external byte as potentially malicious +- **Side-channel awareness** — for cryptographic operations, use constant-time comparison functions and avoid branch-on-secret patterns. Use hardware crypto accelerators (AES, SHA) when available instead of software implementations + +### Platform-Specific +- **ESP-IDF**: Use `esp_err_t` return types, `ESP_ERROR_CHECK()` for fatal paths, `ESP_LOGI/W/E` for logging +- **STM32**: Prefer LL drivers over HAL for timing-critical code; never poll in an ISR +- **Nordic**: Use Zephyr devicetree and Kconfig — don't hardcode peripheral addresses +- **PlatformIO**: `platformio.ini` must pin library versions — never use `@latest` in production + +### RTOS Rules +- ISRs must be minimal — defer work to tasks via queues or semaphores +- Use `FromISR` variants of FreeRTOS APIs inside interrupt handlers +- Never call blocking APIs (`vTaskDelay`, `xQueueReceive` with timeout=portMAX_DELAY) from ISR context +- **Priority inversion prevention** — always use priority-inheritance mutexes (`xSemaphoreCreateMutex()`, not binary semaphores) when a high-priority task may block on a resource held by a low-priority task +- **Deadlock prevention** — establish a global lock ordering across the project; document it in a header comment. If task A acquires mutex X then Y, no task may acquire Y then X +- **Stack overflow detection** — enable `configCHECK_FOR_STACK_OVERFLOW=2` (pattern check) in FreeRTOS; in Zephyr, enable `CONFIG_STACK_SENTINEL` or `CONFIG_MPU_STACK_GUARD` + +## OS / Architecture Decision Framework + +When starting a new project, select the execution model based on constraints: + +``` +What is the MCU capability? +├── MCU (< 1 MB RAM) +│ ├── Hard real-time required? → FreeRTOS or Zephyr (preemptive scheduler) +│ ├── Safety-critical (IEC 61508, DO-178C)? → SafeRTOS / MISRA-C compliant RTOS / Rust bare-metal +│ ├── Single loop + few interrupts? → Bare-metal superloop +│ └── BLE / Thread / Matter required? → Zephyr (native stack) or nRF Connect SDK +├── MPU (> 64 MB RAM, MMU) +│ ├── Complex UI / networking? → Embedded Linux (Yocto / Buildroot) +│ └── Hard real-time on Linux? → Xenomai / PREEMPT_RT patch / separate real-time core (M4 coprocessor) +``` + +Justify the choice in the project README.

The user fills in real data for their +specific part number. + +See `references/mcu_db_schema.md` for the full schema definition and examples +for STM32F4, ESP32-S3, and a blank template. + +### Adding a new MCU + +1. Find the datasheet for your target MCU. +2. Copy the blank template from `references/mcu_db_schema.md`. +3. Fill in pin assignments from the datasheet pinout table. +4. Add capability flags (USB, ETH, CAN, ADC count, etc.). +5. Register voltage profiles from the "Electrical Characteristics" section. + +## 4. Design Workflow + +### Phase 1: Requirements → Architecture + +1. **Clarify requirements**: What interfaces are needed? Power budget? Form factor? +2. **Select MCU**: Based on peripheral needs, check `mcu_db.py` or suggest additions. +3. **Define power tree**: Input source → regulators → rails → consumers. +4. **Sketch block diagram**: MCU, power, peripherals, connectors. (Can use Mermaid.) + +### Phase 2: Python → KiCad + +1. Create `mcu_db.py` entry (or verify existing). +2. Write `power.py` — power supply subcircuit(s). +3. Write `mcu.py` — MCU core with decoupling, reset, boot, clock. +4. Write `peripherals.py` — UART, I2C, SPI, USB, CAN, ADC blocks. +5. Write `main.py` — compose everything, call `generate_kicad_project()`. +6. Run `python main.py` — inspect generated KiCad project. + +### Phase 3: Review & Verify + +Run the **Schematic Review Checklist** (see `references/review_checklists.md`): +- Power integrity: decoupling on every VDD pin, bulk caps, correct voltage rails +- Signal integrity: series resistors on high-speed lines, proper termination +- Connectivity: no floating inputs, all GND pins connected, ESD protection +- Mechanical: mounting holes, connector placement, keep-out zones + +Run the **BOM Review** (see `references/review_checklists.md`): +- All components have valid footprints +- No DNP (Do Not Place) without justification +- Supplier availability verified (JLCPCB basic parts preferred) + +### Phase 4: KiCad → Production + +1. Open generated `.kicad_pro` in KiCad. +2. Assign footprints (if not already set in Python). +3. Layout PCB, run DRC in KiCad. +4. Generate Gerber, BOM, CPL files for fabrication. +5. (Optional) Import into Altium for advanced layout / team collaboration. + +## 5. Power Supply Design Guide + +Read `references/power_design.md` for: +- Topology selection (LDO vs. Buck vs. Buck+LDO chain vs. Boost) +- Input protection (TVS, fuse, reverse polarity) +- Decoupling strategy (bulk + HF per rail, local per IC) +- Thermal considerations +- Reference circuits for common topologies + +## 6. Handling User Requests + +When the skill activates: + +**"Design a board for [MCU/application]"**: +1. Clarify: which MCU family? What peripherals? Power source? Form factor? +2. Check/create `mcu_db.py` entry. +3. Propose module structure (which `.py` files). +4. Generate code file by file, explain design decisions. +5. Remind about review checklists. + +**"Add [peripheral] to existing design"**: +1. Read existing code structure. +2. Add peripheral block function. +3. Wire into `main.py`. +4. Run review checklist for the changed subsystem. + +**"Review my schematic / find problems"**: +1. Read the Python circuit code. +2. Walk through `references/review_checklists.md` systematically. +3. Report findings with severity (critical / warning / suggestion). + +**"Generate BOM"**: +1. Use `result.generate_bom()` from circuit-synth. +2. Cross-check with JLCPCB/DigiKey availability if user requests. + +## 7. Reference Files + +In `references/` directory: +- `mcu_db_schema.md` — MCU database schema, examples (STM32F4, ESP32-S3), blank template +- `power_design.md` — Power supply topology guide with reference circuits +- `review_checklists.md` — Schematic review, DRC, BOM review checklists + +In `scripts/` directory: +- `validate_mcu_db.py` — Validates mcu_db.py structure against schema +- `bom_check.py` — Parses BOM output, checks for missing footprints/values + +## 8. Common Pitfalls + +These mistakes appear repeatedly in AI-generated PCB designs. Be vigilant: + +- **Missing decoupling caps**: Every VDD/AVDD pin needs its own 100nF cap, placed close. + Bulk 10µF per power rail. VDDA gets a separate ferrite bead + cap. +- **Floating inputs**: Unused MCU inputs must be tied high/low or configured as output. + Boot/mode pins especially — always have explicit pull-up/down. +- **USB without ESD**: Always add ESD protection diodes on USB D+/D- lines. +- **I2C without pull-ups**: External pull-ups are mandatory; internal pull-ups are too weak + for most applications. 4.7kΩ to VCC is the safe default. +- **Wrong crystal load caps**: Calculate from crystal datasheet; don't guess 22pF. +- **Power sequencing**: Multi-rail designs may require sequencing (e.g., 1.8V core before 3.3V I/O). +- **Thermal pad not connected**: QFN/DFN exposed pads must connect to GND with thermal vias. + ESP32 modules (MINI-1, WROOM) also have an exposed GND pad on the bottom. +- **USB-C missing CC pull-downs**: USB-C device mode requires 5.1kΩ pull-downs on CC1/CC2. + Without them, a USB-C host will not provide VBUS power. +- **ESP32 strapping pins**: IO0, IO3, IO45, IO46 have boot-mode significance on ESP32-S3. + Do not connect peripherals to strapping pins without understanding boot implications. +- **STM32 VCAP pin missing cap**: STM32F4/F7/H7 have VCAP pins for the internal voltage + regulator. Each needs a 2.2µF (or 4.7µF) ceramic to GND per datasheet. +- **LDO output cap too small**: AMS1117 requires minimum 22µF low-ESR on output. + Generic LDOs vary — always check the regulator datasheet for minimum Cout and ESR range. +- **SPI CS# floating at boot**: Add pull-ups (10kΩ) on all SPI chip-select lines to prevent + unintended device selection during MCU reset/boot. + +--- diff --git a/pcb-ai-engineer/references/mcu_db_schema.md b/pcb-ai-engineer/references/mcu_db_schema.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..79611ee --- /dev/null +++ b/pcb-ai-engineer/references/mcu_db_schema.md @@ -0,0 +1,214 @@ +# MCU Database Schema Reference + +## Schema Definition + +```python +MCU_DB: dict[str, dict[str, dict]] = { + "": { + "": { + "description": str, # Human-readable family description + "core": str, # CPU core (e.g. "Cortex-M4F", "Xtensa LX7") + "voltage_profiles": [ + { + "id": str, # e.g. "3v3_only", "1v8_core_3v3_io" + "vcore": float, # Core supply voltage + "vio": float, # I/O supply voltage + "vbat_supported": bool, + }, + ], + "packages": { + "": { + "description": str, # e.g. "LQFP64, 10x10mm, 0.5mm pitch" + "pin_count": int, + "thermal_pad": bool, # QFN/DFN exposed pad + "pinmap": { + # int pin_number or str pin_name → pin definition + 1: { + "signal": str, # Primary signal name + "roles": list[str], # ["power", "ground", "reset", "boot", "gpio", "analog"] + "af": list[str], # Alternate functions (optional) + }, + }, + "capabilities": { + "has_usb_fs": bool, + "has_usb_hs": bool, + "has_eth_mac": bool, + "has_can": bool, + "has_sdio": bool, + "uart_count": int, + "i2c_count": int, + "spi_count": int, + "adc_channels": int, + "dac_channels": int, + "timer_count": int, + "dma_channels": int, + # extensible — add any capability flags needed + }, + }, + }, + }, + }, +} +``` + +## Key Design Decisions + +- **Vendor as top-level key**: Allows unambiguous lookup when family names overlap. +- **Roles list, not single role**: A pin can be both "gpio" and "analog" (e.g. PA0 on STM32). +- **Alternate functions (af)**: Matches STM32 AF model; for ESP32, use GPIO matrix mapping. +- **thermal_pad flag**: Reminds the generator to add GND connection for QFN/DFN pads. +- **Capabilities are flat**: Easier to query than nested structures.

Manufacturing Review (pre-Gerber) + +- [ ] Board outline defined with correct dimensions +- [ ] Minimum trace width / spacing meets fab capability (typically 0.15mm/0.15mm) +- [ ] Via size meets fab capability (typically 0.3mm drill, 0.6mm annular ring) +- [ ] Silkscreen text readable (min 0.8mm height, 0.15mm line width) +- [ ] Component courtyard clearances respected (no overlaps) +- [ ] Fiducial marks present if using pick-and-place assembly +- [ ] Panel design considered if small board (add mouse bites / V-score lines) + +## How to Use These Checklists + +When generating or reviewing a circuit: + +1. Complete the **Schematic Review** after writing all Python circuit files. +2. Run **DRC/ERC** checks both in Python (structural) and in KiCad (electrical). +3. Do **BOM Review** after `generate_bom()`. +4. Do **Manufacturing Review** after PCB layout, before generating Gerber files. + +Report findings as: +- 🔴 **CRITICAL**: Must fix before fabrication (missing decoupling, floating pins, wrong voltage) +- 🟡 **WARNING**: Should fix, risk of intermittent issues (marginal thermal, no test points) +- 🟢 **SUGGESTION**: Nice to have, improves robustness (second-source parts, extra test points) diff --git a/pcb-ai-engineer/scripts/bom_check.py b/pcb-ai-engineer/scripts/bom_check.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4701a8f --- /dev/null +++ b/pcb-ai-engineer/scripts/bom_check.py @@ -0,0 +1,134 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env python3 +"""Check BOM output for common issues. + +Usage: + python bom_check.py path/to/bom.csv + +Checks: + -
