BFE Engineering 42fb386f60 docs: ASCII typography and style normalization across all repo text
Replace every em dash with real punctuation (rewrites, not hyphen swaps)
in docs, code comments, scripts, configs, and the port records; convert
en dashes, curly quotes, ellipsis glyphs, arrows, and section signs to
ASCII; drop machine-writing tell phrases from living docs. ADR titles
now use a colon. The M2 bring-up DTS model string carried an em dash
into the patch series and its record echoes; fixed at both, and the full
series re-verified to apply cleanly onto pristine 6.18.46. One comment
in freshness.h deliberately names the em dash glyph the UI renders as
the unknown mark; that is data, kept as prose naming it.

Verified: cargo tests (sim, config-lint, rs485-bridge), shellcheck,
both driver MC/DC harnesses, patches-apply.

config-lint

Static target-config gates: catches flash-time config faults the behavioural sim cannot: mistakes in the memory map, not the logic. The first check is the one that would have caught the c8a3 brick: a boot-loaded coprocessor firmware dropped at 0x40000, which is a reserved-memory carve-out on Thunder-Boot boards but plain kernel RAM on the 86 Panel, so the MCU and the kernel fought over the same DRAM and the board hung before eth0.

The check

Every address the idblock loader drops MCU firmware to must sit inside a reserved-memory node in the target devicetree.

  • MCU loads come from the rkbin loader .ini: each LOADERn=Hpmcu (any hpmcu/mcu/amp entry) in [LOADER_OPTION], with its LOAD_ADDR from [LOADERn_PARAM].
  • Reserved ranges come from the devicetree: every reg = <addr size> inside a reserved-memory { ... } node.

A load outside all reservations is a failure (non-zero exit).

Use

cargo run -p warden-config-lint -- --ini <loader.ini> --dt <devicetree.dts>

In CI, feed the flattened devicetree so includes and overlays are resolved:

dtc -I dtb -O dts build/.../rv1106g-warden.dtb > /tmp/warden.dts
config-lint --ini .../RKBOOT/RV1106MINIALL*.ini --dt /tmp/warden.dts

Exit 0 = every MCU load is reserved (or there are none); 1 = a collision was found; 2 = usage/IO error.

Test

cargo test -p warden-config-lint

The suite encodes the brick as a regression: the real Thunder-Boot .ini (Hpmcu @ 0x40000) fails against a DT with no rtos@40000 node and passes once the reservation is added, and the 86 Panel's non-TB loader (no boot-loaded MCU) always passes. See ../../docs/architecture.md section 5 and, for the hardware hazard, the boot-loaded-mcu-0x40000-hazard note.
