BlackMark f71d76a815 pureboot v8: one-wire on every backend
HALF_DUPLEX deploys a shared line per backend. The hardware USART takes
the library's .half_duplex turn-around — RXD and TXD tied off-chip, each
reply byte held to transmit-complete before the line can be released
(m8 404 B, m328P 440, 1284P 460; the window poll runs through the
outlined release-line call at 18 or 22 cycles a poll, measured off the
built loops and held per chip by pureboot.window.halfduplex). The
software and autobaud links fold onto the RX pin — RX == TX spells the
same — and cost nothing: the frame's direction wrap is what the dropped
second-pin init paid, and the worst image in the space is unchanged at
the 1284s' 502 of 512, now with its one-wire twin proven equal across
the exhaustive matrix. The host gains --one-wire, the echo discard a
shared line requires: the adapter's echo is matched byte for byte and a
reply interleaving a blind write — a loader already in session
re-prompts inside the knock — is held for the reader. The device runner
models the shared line by direction (drives only while the firmware's
DDR reads input, decodes only while the firmware owns it, supplies the
host-side echo), extends the USART pin-ownership model to RXEN's hold
on RXD, and starts the pty USART from the datasheet's zeroed UCSR#B:
simavr's TXEN-set reset plus its clear-UDRE-on-TXEN-drop otherwise
wedges the first transmitter after a receiver-only program, which the
half-duplex window gate caught as a banner that never came. v7 is
tagged at its era's last commit; v8 changes nothing on the wire.

"""Hand-over with a USART left enabled on the loader's own pins.
A software or autobaud link deployed on a USART's TxD is mute if an
application hands over with that USART still enabled: TXEN keeps the USART
owning the pin, so the bit-banged transmitter's port writes go nowhere and the
loader receives and obeys while answering nothing. The link's init releases it.
The state is reached the way silicon reaches it — an application that sets up
its USART and jumps in with no reset between, so nothing clears UCSRnB for it.
The pin ownership itself is modelled by the device runner: simavr wires a
USART through IRQs alone and never takes the pin from the port, so without
that the mute could not happen here at all (test/pureboot_device.cpp).
