Closes the format contract on the firmware side. Source-only — Phase 5
toolchain blocker still prevents actually compiling, but when it
unblocks this is one less thing to write under time pressure.
- src/weights.rs — no_std mirror of v2/.../weights.rs. Same magic
('RVNE'), same version 1, same CRC32-IEEE polynomial (matches the C
side in temporal_task.c). Bit-for-bit lockstep with the host: a
blob produced by host WeightBlob::serialize() parses here as a
WeightBlobView byte-for-byte.
Borrowed-slice parse design: the firmware loader receives weights
via mmap'd EMBED_FILES or NVS read into a heap buffer. The parser
takes &[u8] with no copy — view fields point into the caller's
buffer. Caller is responsible for keeping the buffer alive for the
view's lifetime.
Loader errors map to esp_err_t-style codes via
weight_load_err_to_esp() so the C ABI can surface specific failure
modes (ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG for magic/version/size, ESP_ERR_INVALID_CRC
for corruption, ESP_ERR_INVALID_SIZE for shape validation failures).
- src/lib.rs — ruv_temporal_init now optionally validates a non-NULL
weights blob. NULL pointer is still allowed during the Phase 4/5
bring-up window (kernel forward isn't actually consuming weights
yet), but when caller passes a real blob we parse + sanity-check
declared dims against runtime arguments. Catches deploy bugs at
init() rather than at first classify() — the firmware Tmr Svc work
in v0.6.4 taught us that classify-time crashes are the worst kind.
- README.md — Phase 6 marked done (verified by 8MB firmware build with
feature off in commit 7994af822). Added module map table covering
lib.rs / window.rs / weights.rs / ruv_temporal.h / shim.c.
What's deliberately NOT in this commit:
- Cross-compile validation. Same toolchain blocker as before.
- Kernel-side wiring of weights into the forward pass. That's
Phase 6+ of the firmware roadmap — once the kernel is wired,
weights become a required arg, not an optional one.
- Tests on the firmware side. They'd need build-std working to run;
16/16 host tests cover the format end-to-end via the lockstep
polynomial.
