BlackMark 433bec3e58 tools: a hardware harness, so a board can be proven and not just a protocol
check.sh proves the protocol under simavr on every chip; it cannot prove a
board. Two things live only on silicon — an RC oscillator that is not on its
nominal, and a reset edge that has to come from somewhere — and until now the
scripts that reached them were per-session scratch on the machine holding the
programmer, which is where the ATtiny13A run's findings nearly stayed.

pbrig.py is the primitives, knowing nothing per-board: every deployment fact is
a flag or a PUREBOOT_* variable. Two rig facts are encoded in it because neither
is guessable and each cost a session to learn: an ISP access *is* the reset edge
where the adapter's DTR is unwired, so a session begins with an ISP touch and
knocks immediately after; and avrdude splits -U on colons, so a Windows drive
letter breaks the spec and every file goes as a bare name with avrdude run in
its own directory. Its `rate` subcommand is the one that turns "the loader is
silent, so the wiring must be wrong" into a number, by sweeping the host rate
against a fixed cycles-per-bit transmitter — PUREBOOT_HEARTBEAT makes the
existing fixture into one, software link only, since the hardware-link idle owes
the self-update tests its command loop.

pbhw.py takes every bound from the info block the loader reports, so one run
covers a 1 KiB tiny and a 128 KiB mega alike. Both are exercised on an ATtiny13A:
backup verified against a known-good capture, the clock measured at 9.048 MHz
against a 9.6 MHz nominal, and the suite 11/11.

// Test-fixture application for the pureboot protocol tests: prints "APP" on
// the chip's serial link (the same link the loader uses) — the proof that
// the loader's hand-over, and on the tinies the host's reset-vector
// surgery, actually launched it. Linked normally (crt, vectors at 0); on
// the tinies its reset vector is the rjmp the host re-homes.
//
// On the hardware-USART link it then listens, and an 'L' makes it jump into
// the resident loader — the application-owned loader entry a
// BOOTRST-unprogrammed mega relies on (reset always boots the application
// there), exercised by the self-update tests. The software link idles:
// reset reaches those loaders through the patched vector (or the runner
// models BOOTRST), so the application owes them nothing.
//
// PUREBOOT_HANDOVER drops the listening and jumps straight in, leaving the
// USART enabled behind it — the hand-over state a loader bit-banging on that
// USART's own pins has to survive.
//
// The fixture speaks the deployment its loader was built for: the same
// PUREBOOT_* defines configure it, and without them it assumes the stock
// deployment (the crystal/RC clock table below, the chip's natural link).
