dashboard.py:77 had a stale `NUM_RANGE_BINS = 64` literal from pre-PR-F.
Range-Doppler canvas was mis-sized: parser at radar_protocol.py:425
already enforces 512, so production frames would never have rendered
correctly even with P-2/P-3 in place.
Fix: drop the local literals; re-export NUM_RANGE_BINS / NUM_DOPPLER_BINS
through v7/hardware.py (which already re-exports the rest of
radar_protocol) and import them in dashboard.py. Single source of truth.
Also fixed two stale "(64x32)" docstrings: module-header tab description
and `_on_frame_ready` docstring.
Regression: 228/228 (test_v7 111 + test_GUI_V65_Tk 117). Ruff clean.
- Add FT601Connection in radar_protocol.py using ftd3xx library with
proper setChipConfiguration re-enumeration handling (close, wait 2s,
re-open) and 4-byte write alignment
- Add USB Interface dropdown to V65 Tk GUI (FT2232H default, FT601 option)
- Add USB Interface combo to V7 PyQt dashboard with Live/File mode toggle
- Fix mock frame_start bit 7 in both FT2232H and FT601 connections
- Use FPGA range data from USB packets instead of recomputing in Python
- Export FT601Connection from v7/hardware.py and v7/__init__.py
- Add 7 FT601Connection tests (91 total in test_GUI_V65_Tk.py)
Add SoftwareFPGA class that imports golden_reference functions to
replicate the FPGA pipeline in software, enabling bit-accurate replay
of raw IQ, FPGA co-sim, and HDF5 recordings through the same
dashboard path as live data.
New modules: software_fpga.py, replay.py (ReplayEngine + 3 loaders)
Enhanced: WaveformConfig model, extract_targets_from_frame() in
processing, ReplayWorker with thread-safe playback controls,
dashboard replay UI with transport controls and dual-dispatch
FPGA parameter routing.
Removed: ReplayConnection (from radar_protocol, hardware, dashboard,
tests) — replaced by the unified replay architecture.
150/150 tests pass, ruff clean.
