fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile - #109
Conversation
There was a problem hiding this comment.
🟡 Changes recommended
The current implementation can regress SDK generation for supported boards not recognized by the analyzer and can override known target mappings, producing incorrect toolchains/eboot boards.
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.
Pull request overview
This PR fixes a pipeline regression where SDK/toolchain generation was derived from the board name string (and silently fell back to x86_64 for unknown names) instead of using the analyzer’s detected hardware profile, causing MCU builds (e.g., nrf52840) to target the host toolchain.
Changes:
- Added profile-driven SDK generation (
generate_sdk_from_profile) and supporting helpers insdk_generator.py. - Updated
_run_pipeline_stepsto generate the SDK from the detected hardware profile. - Added unit/regression tests to pin legacy fallback behavior and guard the pipeline against reintroducing the name-based regression.

- Known risks: Incorrect toolchain selection for known targets if profile-derived mapping overrides
TARGET_ARCH; pipeline generating an empty SDK dir name whenprofile.mcuis empty; RISC-V eboot board fallback selecting x86. - Assumptions:
TARGET_ARCHis the canonical mapping for existing supported targets; the analyzer DB does not include all supported board strings (e.g., raspi4). - Recommended next step: Implement the suggested fixes, then run the unit suite and (at minimum) the new regression tests.

- generate_sdk_from_profile accepts a "board" override, but the current precedence uses profile.mcu first, so passing board has no effect whenever profile.mcu is set. This can break the stated goal of keeping the SDK directory name derived from the CLI board (e.g., eos-sdk-).

Review — ebuild#109 "fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile"
head: 89edcd2 author: harshaaaaw ci: none reported (gh pr checks returned no checks for this head)
Verdict: The diagnosis is right — Step 4 of _run_pipeline_steps discarded the analyzer's profile and looked the board name up in TARGET_ARCH, so any chip outside the 14-entry table silently got an x86_64 SDK. The fix does not conform: the new profile path picks the eBoot board and linker script by a hardcoded guess chain that resolves nearly every detected MCU to nrf52, and it regresses six of the fourteen documented SDK targets to an x86_64 SDK in a directory literally named eos-sdk-. The claim "the legacy path is unchanged" is true; the claim that this is the "only behavior change" is not.
Findings
| # | Severity | File:line | Finding | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | High | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:35-54 (_eboot_key_for_info) |
For any detected chip not in EBOOT_BOARD, the chain returns "nrf52" whenever info["class"] == "mcu" and the core is not Cortex-M7. EBOOT_BOARD holds exactly the 14 TARGET_ARCH keys, but MCU_DATABASE has 171. So --board stm32f103 (64K flash @ 0x08000000, 20K SRAM) emits eboot/eboot_stm32f103.ld containing the nRF52 map — FLASH ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 1024K / SRAM 256K (sdk_generator.py:140-143 of the diff). Same for samd51, stm32f0, stm32l0, stm32l5, stm32u5, lpc55, ra8m1, corstone300, tms570, and every other Cortex-M/R part. A file whose name says stm32f103 and whose contents describe an nRF52 links successfully and overstates RAM by 12×. Before this PR the class was pc and no linker script was written at all, so this is newly emitted wrong data. |
Do not infer a board. If the resolved key is not in EBOOT_BOARD, keep eboot_board = "x86" and write no linker script, or drive MEMORY from profile.flash_size / profile.ram_size / profile.memory_regions (already populated by the analyzer) and skip the script when they are 0. Delete the stm32h7/rp2040/nrf52 guesses in _eboot_key_for_info. |
| 2 | High | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:164 + ebuild/cli/commands.py:703 |
target = (profile.mcu or "").lower(), and HardwareProfile.mcu defaults to "" (eos_hw_analyzer.py:53). interpret_text only sets mcu when an MCU_DATABASE key is a substring of the board string, and the override block at commands.py:675 only fires when MCU_DATABASE.get(board.lower()) hits. Six documented TARGET_ARCH targets are absent from MCU_DATABASE: raspi3, raspi4, vexpress, riscv_virt, malta, qemu_virt. For those, ebuild pipeline --board raspi4 now yields profile.mcu == "" → _info_from_profile returns None → get_target_info("") → x86_64, written to build/sdk/eos-sdk- (empty name). On master the same command produced aarch64-linux-gnu in eos-sdk-raspi4. This is the exact defect the PR exists to fix, reintroduced for 6 of 14 shipped targets, and it breaks the path documented in sdk/README.md:56 (source build/eos-sdk-raspi4/environment-setup). It also makes deliverable_packager.py:127 (os.path.join(build_dir, "eos-sdk-%s" % target)) miss silently — the if os.path.exists(sdk_src) guard skips the SDK copy with no warning. |
In generate_sdk_from_profile, take the directory/target name from the caller, not from profile.mcu: generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, output_dir, target=None) and in commands.py call generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, str(sdk_dir), target=board.lower()). When _info_from_profile returns None, fall back to get_target_info(target) on that caller-supplied name so the 14 table targets keep their toolchain. |
| 3 | High | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:73-77 (_info_from_profile) |
The first branch tests arch == "arm" before the Cortex-A branch is ever reached, so every 32-bit Cortex-A / ARM11 part gets the bare-metal arm-none-eabi triplet and class: "mcu". Confirmed against MCU_DATABASE: zynq7020 (arch: arm, core: cortex-a9), sama5d3 (cortex-a5), bcm2835 (arm1176jzf-s) all take it. These are Linux-class SoCs; arm-none-eabi has no OS libc, and the repo's own vexpress entry (Cortex-A15) correctly uses arm-linux-gnueabihf. Combined with finding 1 they also receive an nRF52 linker script. The docstring states the function "returns None for anything else so the caller keeps the original x86_64 fallback rather than inventing a toolchain we do not have" — this is precisely inventing one. |
Test the core before the arch: move the "cortex-a" in core or "arm11" in core check above the Cortex-M/R check, and map it to arm-linux-gnueabihf with class: "sbc" when arch == "arm", aarch64-linux-gnu when arch in ("aarch64","arm64"). Guard the first branch with "cortex-m" in core or "cortex-r" in core only — drop the bare arch == "arm" disjunct. |
| 4 | Medium | tests/unit/test_sdk_from_profile.py:276-297 |
test_pipeline_sdk_matches_detected_profile exercises nrf52840 — the single chip for which the nrf52 guess in finding 1 is correct and for which profile.mcu is guaranteed non-empty. No pipeline test covers a TARGET_ARCH target that is not an MCU_DATABASE key, which is why finding 2 is invisible to this suite. test_sdk_from_profile_unknown_mcu_uses_fallback passes an empty arch/core profile and asserts x86_64, so it locks in the finding-2 behaviour as intended rather than catching it. |
Add test_pipeline_sdk_raspi4_stays_aarch64 asserting eos-sdk-raspi4/toolchain.cmake contains aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc, and a test asserting no eboot_*.ld is written (or that MEMORY matches profile.flash_size) for a detected stm32f103. |
| 5 | Medium | PR body — "Risks", "Test plan" | "The only behavior change is that detected ARM/AArch64/RISC-V chips now get the right toolchain instead of x86_64" and "Risks: Low. No public API changed" are contradicted by findings 1-3. The "byte-identical for the 13 known targets" check is scoped to generate_sdk(name), where it does hold — EBOOT_BOARD's key set equals TARGET_ARCH's, so _eboot_board_for_info returns the old value for every table target — but the reviewer-relevant surface is the pipeline, which regresses. Full unit suite: 349 passed, 2 skipped, 1 deselected is a summary line with no command shown; per §28 of the master design and .ai/reviewer.md an unsupported PASS is itself a finding. |
Restate the risk section to name the pipeline-path change, and paste the actual pytest invocation and tail output rather than a count. |
| 6 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:102 |
canon = _eboot_key_for_info(info, target) or target — _eboot_key_for_info returns a non-empty string on every path ("x86" at worst), so or target is unreachable. Reads as if a None case exists. |

| 7 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:153 |
generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, output_dir, hardware_file=None) never uses hardware_file; it propagates the same dead parameter that generate_sdk already carries. A caller passing it gets silence, not a diagnostic. |
Drop the parameter from the new function, or honour it. |
Architecture conformance
ebuild is Tier 1 — Foundation (§21). The change is confined to ebuild/sdk_generator.py and ebuild/cli/commands.py; it adds no import, link line or manifest entry pointing up a tier, and §5.1's "eBuild understands the complete graph but is not a runtime dependency" is respected — nothing here becomes a runtime dependency of EoS or eBoot.
Where it deviates is §9.2, SDK design rules: "Actionable diagnostics with remediation guidance" and "Reproducible lockfiles/manifests for production builds". Both the pre-existing TARGET_ARCH.get(target, TARGET_ARCH["x86_64"]) fallback and the new _info_from_profile → None → x86_64 path resolve an unsupported target to a host toolchain and print success. §9.2 requires the opposite: an unsupported target must produce an actionable diagnostic. The PR body identifies this ("A silent wrong architecture in the headline build command is the kind of bug that ships broken images to real hardware") and then preserves the silence in two new places. Findings 1-3 are all instances of the same §9.2 deviation.
Also relevant to §9.1 (eBuild engine — Configure / Build → Image / Manifest): the SDK's toolchain.cmake is not consumed by the pipeline's own build step. _run_cmake_build (commands.py:724-762) passes EOS_BOARD/EOS_ARCH/EOS_CORE and the EOS_ENABLE_* defines but no CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE; only environment-setup exports one (sdk_generator.py:183). So ebuild pipeline step [6/6] still configures with the host compiler regardless of this fix. That is out of this PR's scope and not counted as a finding against it, but it does mean the "Before/After" panel in the PR body describes the emitted SDK file, not the compiler the pipeline actually invokes — worth stating so the fix is not mistaken for closing the cross-compilation gap.
Proposed changes
Smallest sequence that keeps the pipeline building throughout:
- Thread the target name through instead of deriving it from
profile.mcu, fixing finding 2 without touching the arch logic:and atdef generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, output_dir, target=None): target = (target or getattr(profile, "mcu", "") or "").lower() info = _info_from_profile(profile) or get_target_info(target)
commands.py:703:generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, str(sdk_dir), target=board.lower()). - Reorder
_info_from_profileso the core decides before the arch, and drop the barearch == "arm"disjunct from the Cortex-M/R branch (finding 3). - Replace
_eboot_key_for_info's inference with a lookup plus an honest miss (finding 1):def _eboot_key_for_info(info, target): return target if target in EBOOT_BOARD else None
_eboot_board_for_infothen yields"x86"on a miss,canonisNone, and_write_sdk_filesskips the.ldwhencanon is Nonerather than emitting another chip's memory map. Log one line naming the unmapped part and pointing atEBOOT_BOARD, satisfying §9.2. - Add the two tests in finding 4. Step 3 will fail the existing
test_sdk_from_profile_nrf52840only if it asserts oneboot_nrf52840.ld; it does not, so the suite should stay green.
Not checked
- Nothing was executed. The
ebuildworking tree is dirty (4 files) and the sync step left it untouched per the rules of engagement, so nopytestrun was attempted. All statements above are read fromorigin/master(e5d8052) viagit showplus the PR diff. Findings 1-3 are traced through the code by hand; the specific claim "--board raspi4now writeseos-sdk-" is inferred from the code path, not observed from a run. - No CI signal:
checks.txtis empty, meaninggh pr checksreported no checks for89edcd26. Whether that is "no workflows required on this repo" or a configuration gap was not determined. PR_P0_visual.htmlis referenced in the PR body but is not in the changed-file list (files.txtshows 3 files); not reviewed.- The "13 known targets produce byte-identical SDK files" claim was reasoned about via the key sets of
TARGET_ARCHandEBOOT_BOARD, not reproduced by generating and diffing SDKs. - Whether
arm-none-eabi-gcc,aarch64-linux-gnu-gccetc. are actually present on any CI runner — and so whether a correct triplet yields a working build — was not checked.

Thank you for the detailed architecture review — it was correct on all seven points, and the earlier rounds had papered over the real issues. I rewrote the profile path from scratch and verified every fix by execution, not by reading. 1 (High) — no more board guessing. 2 (High) — target threaded from the caller. 3 (High) — core before arch. 4 (Medium) — tests added. 5 (Medium) — PR body corrected. Risks are now stated as Medium and name the pipeline-path change; the 6 (Low) — unreachable 7 (Low) — dead param removed. Executed verification (independent audit ran the same): Pushed as a single squashed commit. |

Review — ebuild#109 "fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile"
head: cf0fa8e author: harshaaaaw ci: none reported (bundle checks.txt empty, pr.json carries no check rollup)
Verdict: The core fix is right and the layering is now correct — the pipeline drives SDK generation from the detected profile instead of the board string, MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD moved down into ebuild/sdk_generator.py so eos_ai/ depends downward, and the per-chip MEMORY block is gated on an exact TARGET_ARCH match so a family sibling can no longer inherit a flagship map. What is not right is the reach of the fail-closed claim: it lands in one CMake file that the SDK's own documented consumer never includes, and the pipeline step that produced it still reports success.
Findings
| # | Severity | File:line | Finding | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Medium | ebuild/sdk_generator.py (_write_sdk_files, board/toolchain-miss branch) |
Fail-closed covers only eboot/eboot_board.cmake. On a toolchain miss the same call still writes toolchain.cmake (CMAKE_C_COMPILER x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc), environment-setup, environment-setup.bat, sdk-info.txt (Arch: x86_64) and manifest.json with no failure marker — and environment-setup exports CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="$EOS_SDK_ROOT/toolchain.cmake", a file that never includes eboot/eboot_board.cmake. A developer who sources environment-setup for an unmapped chip gets a desktop compiler silently: the exact defect this PR exists to fix, still reachable through the SDK's primary consumer surface. |
Mark the fallback where a consumer can see it: add "toolchain": "fallback" (or "supported": false) to manifest.json, an explicit line in sdk-info.txt, and an echo of the same actionable warning in environment-setup/.bat. If you want a hard stop instead, say which — a message(FATAL_ERROR ...) in toolchain.cmake would retire the documented legacy x86_64 fallback that test_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64 pins, so it is a separate decision, not a silent one. |
| 2 | Medium | ebuild/cli/commands.py:703-706 |
The return value of generate_sdk_from_profile is discarded and step 4 logs log.success(" SDK generated in ...") unconditionally. For a target that just failed closed, ebuild pipeline --board <chip> prints [4/6] Generating SDK..., one [warn] line, then success, and continues: the build step does not consume toolchain.cmake (your own out-of-scope note), and _create_image copies the whole SDK tree — FATAL_ERROR file included — into rootfs/opt/eos-sdk and ships it inside the disk image. .ai/reviewer.md: a verification whose result is discarded is a finding. .ai/tooling.md: "Exit non-zero on failure, always." |
Return the resolution status (e.g. (sdk_dir, toolchain_ok, eboot_board)) or raise, and have step 4 fail the pipeline on a miss — or gate continuation behind an explicit --allow-unsupported-target. As it stands the fail-closed guarantee is defeated by the caller. |
| 3 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py (_resolve_eboot_board_dir, MCU-prefix loop) |
The loop returns the first insertion-order prefix match, not the longest, so the table's own more specific rows are unreachable: esp32c3/esp32s3 both startswith("esp32") → board esp32, and "ultrasparc_t": "sparc64" is shadowed by "ultrasparc": "sparc". Today it is masked — those parts have no toolchain, so toolchain_ok=False drops the board anyway — but the mask disappears the moment an Xtensa or rv32 toolchain lands, and it makes three table entries dead weight. Behaviour is inherited verbatim from eos_project_generator.py:822-826, so the move preserved a latent defect rather than introducing one. |
for prefix, board in sorted(MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD.items(), key=lambda kv: -len(kv[0])):, plus a test asserting esp32c3 -> esp32c3. Worth fixing in the one place now that there is only one table. |
| 4 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py (_write_eos_enable_header) |
eos_product_enables.h re-emits the EOS_ENABLE_* block that eos_config_generator.generate_eos_config_h already writes into eos_product_config.h (eos_config_generator.py:189-192) from the identical profile.get_eos_enables(). Nothing in ebuild/ or eos/ includes the new header — only the new test reads it — so the pipeline now ships two generated headers defining the same macros with one consumer between them. That is the drift master design §9.2 ("one source of truth for CLI, VS Code and EoStudio") warns about. Also get_eos_enables() only ever inserts True entries, so the " 0" branch is unreachable. |
Either name the consumer and wire it up, or drop the header and have SDK consumers include the existing eos_product_config.h. |
Architecture conformance
Conforms on the point that mattered. §5.1 — dependency direction: MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD now lives in ebuild/sdk_generator.py and EosProjectGenerator holds a class-attribute alias importing it from there, so the AI-assist subpackage depends on the core SDK generator and not the reverse; sdk_generator imports only argparse/json/os (Observed in the diff, both directions). §9.2 — "one source of truth" and "actionable diagnostics with remediation guidance": the unified _resolve_eboot_board_dir and the ebuild sdk --list remediation text satisfy this; Finding 4 is the one place it regresses. §5.1 — "eBuild understands the complete graph but is not a runtime dependency": unaffected, all changes are generation-time. Tier placement (§21) is correct: this is Tier-1 foundation work in the Tier-1 repo, and no cross-repo path dependency is introduced (.ai/platform.md: repositories are not the dependency API).
One wording correction for the record: the PR body calls EosProjectGenerator "Tier-3". ebuild/eos_ai/ is a subpackage of the Tier-1 ebuild repo, not the Tier-3 eAI product of §21. The fix is right either way; the tier label is not.

Review — ebuild#109 "fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile"
head: 9395e39 author: harshaaaaw ci: none (no workflow has run on this head; checks.txt empty, mergeStateStatus: BLOCKED)
Verdict: The toolchain-derivation core is now correct and I verified it by execution — stm32f103 → arm-none-eabi-gcc, rk3588 → aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc, zynq7020 → arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc, all x86_64 on master. The four findings from cf0fa8e are genuinely closed, and the Tier-1 table move is clean (import ebuild.sdk_generator loads 0 eos_ai/llm modules). But the new hard stop in pipeline step 4 is gated on the eBoot board, not on the toolchain, so it rejects the exact chips this PR just fixed: 24 analyzer-known parts now get a correct cross-toolchain written to disk and then exit 1, where master completed. That is a functional regression, and the PR body's "unsupported chip" framing understates it.
Findings
| # | Severity | File:line | Finding | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | High | ebuild/cli/commands.py:707 |
Step 4 raises when eboot_board is None or not toolchain_ok. For a chip whose toolchain now resolves correctly but for which eBoot ships no board directory, the pipeline writes the right SDK and then exits 1. Executed at this head: stm32f103 → set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER arm-none-eabi-gcc) then RuntimeError; rk3588 → aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc then RuntimeError; zynq7020 → arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc then RuntimeError. Same three on origin/master: SUCCESS (with the wrong x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc). Swept the analyzer's 171-entry MCU_DATABASE through the head's own resolution logic: 15 succeed, 156 exit 1, and 24 of the 156 have a correct derived toolchain and are rejected only for the missing board dir (stm32f0/f030/f1/f103/l0/l072/l5/l562/u5, lpc55, lpc55s06, corstone300, ra8m1, cortex_r52, rz_t1, bcm2835, zynq7020, omap5, omap5432, sama5d3, sama5d36, imx8x, rk3568, rk3588). ebuild pipeline --board rk3588 --skip-build, whose only job is generating configs + SDK, also fails — the raise is before the skip_build branch. |
Split the condition. Raise only on not toolchain_ok — that is the genuinely unsupported case. When toolchain_ok is True and eboot_board is None, log a warning and continue: eboot/eboot_board.cmake already carries message(FATAL_ERROR ...), so any consumer that actually needs the board still fails by name, and the pipeline's own build step never reads it (_run_cmake_build passes EOS_BOARD/EOS_ARCH/EOS_CORE, as the PR body states). |
| 2 | Medium | ebuild/cli/commands.py:708-711, ebuild/sdk_generator.py:604,610 |
The diagnostics are factually wrong for finding 1's population. RuntimeError("unsupported target stm32f103: no toolchain/eboot board ships for this chip") and [warn] unsupported target stm32f103 print on the same run that just wrote arm-none-eabi. A user reads "no toolchain ships" for a chip whose toolchain the PR fixed. |
Distinguish the two misses in the text: "no cross-toolchain ships for <t>" vs "toolchain <triplet> selected, but eBoot ships no board for <t>". Note also that ebuild sdk --list (verified present, ebuild/cli/integration.py:600) prints only the 14 TARGET_ARCH targets, while 15 chips pass the pipeline — nrf52840 works but is not listed. |
| 3 | Medium | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:382-385 |
Legacy generate_sdk calls _write_sdk_files without toolchain_ok, so it defaults to True even when info is the x86_64 fallback. Result is half-fail-closed: ebuild sdk --target stm32f103 gets the FATAL_ERROR in eboot_board.cmake but none of the fallback markers this head added. Executed: FATAL_ERROR present True; environment-setup WARNING False; sdk-info.txt fallback False; manifest.target.toolchain None; export CC="x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc". This is last round's finding 1 left standing on the sibling path — it is not the deferred F1 (profile resolution), just honest labelling. |
One line: sdk_dir, _, _ = _write_sdk_files(target, info, output_dir, toolchain_ok=target in TARGET_ARCH). I applied exactly that to a scratch copy of this head and re-ran the PR's suite: 22 passed, 0 failed — including test_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64 and test_supported_target_has_no_fallback_markers. |
| 4 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:331, ebuild/eos_ai/eos_project_generator.py:667 |
The table was unified this head; the lookup was not. The longest-prefix scan is written twice over the same 138 entries, which is why the shadowing bug had to be fixed in two loops in one round — the next divergence will be silent. Both also re-sort all 138 items on every call. | Extract one module-level helper in sdk_generator (_board_dir_for_mcu(mcu)) over a precomputed longest-first list, and have _resolve_eboot_board_dir and EosProjectGenerator._resolve_eboot_board both call it. Keep _resolve_eboot_board's ""-on-miss contract at the wrapper. |
| 5 | Low | docs/guides/adding_a_board.md:212-220 |
Step 7 of the board-onboarding guide still says "Edit ebuild/eos_ai/eos_project_generator.py" and shows MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD = { ... }. That file no longer defines the table — line 102 is an alias. A contributor following the guide edits the alias. core/eos/docs/three-way-alignment.md:11,121 also still places the table "in project generator". |
Point Step 7 at ebuild/sdk_generator.py and update the two alignment-doc lines. One line each. |
Closed from the cf0fa8e round, verified rather than taken on the PR body:
- Fallback now marked on all four surfaces for the profile path, and absent on supported targets (
test_toolchain_miss_is_marked_fallback_everywhere,test_supported_target_has_no_fallback_markersboth pass). - Step 4 no longer logs success on a miss (over-corrected — finding 1).
- Longest-prefix shadowing fixed in both loops:
esp32c3→esp32c3,esp32s3→esp32s3,ultrasparc_t→sparc64confirmed. eos_product_enables.hdeletion is safe:git grepacross the head,origin/master, and all 19 ecosystem checkouts finds zero consumers;masternever had the file, so the net effect is nil.
Architecture conformance
§5.1 / §21 — conforms. ebuild is Tier 1 (§21). MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD moved from the in-repo AI-assist subpackage ebuild/eos_ai/ into ebuild/sdk_generator.py, and the consumer now imports downward (eos_project_generator.py:28). Verified, not assumed: importing ebuild.sdk_generator pulls in 0 eos_ai/llm modules. No cross-repo edge is added or moved, and no #include/import/manifest entry points up a tier. eBuild remains a build-time control plane, not a runtime dependency (§5.1).
§21.1 — respected. Nothing here argues for a new repository, and nothing should: the target/board tables have one consumer graph inside ebuild.
§9.2 — partially met. "Actionable diagnostics with remediation guidance" is satisfied in form (every message names ebuild sdk --list, and that flag exists) but not in substance while findings 1 and 2 stand: the diagnostic misdescribes the failure and the remediation list is narrower than what actually works.
§22 — the design gap behind finding 1. §22 defines five hardware support tiers (Reference / Validated / Community / Experimental / Deprecated) and says "Do not market all board descriptors as equivalent hardware support." eBuild has no representation of those tiers: MCU_DATABASE holds 171 descriptors, TARGET_ARCH/EBOOT_BOARD 14, MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD 138 prefixes, and this PR collapses all of it into a binary supported / exit 1. The 156-chip cliff is the drift between those three tables surfacing as a hard failure. The master design is silent on how eBuild should express §22 in target resolution, so a proposal is appended to .ai/autoreview/proposals/2026-09.md rather than argued in this PR. Within this PR, keeping the three tables behind one resolution module in ebuild (no repo split, per §21.1) is the smaller step.
Proposed changes
Smallest sequence that keeps everything building:
ebuild/cli/commands.py:707— split the gate (finding 1):if not toolchain_ok: raise RuntimeError("no cross-toolchain ships for " + board + "; the SDK fell back " "to the host x86_64 compiler. Run `ebuild sdk --list`.") if eboot_board is None: log.warn(" no eBoot board for " + board + ": eboot/eboot_board.cmake carries a " "FATAL_ERROR; a build that needs the board will fail by name.")
ebuild/sdk_generator.py:604,610— reword the two[warn]lines to name which half missed (finding 2).ebuild/sdk_generator.py:383— passtoolchain_ok=target in TARGET_ARCH(finding 3). Verified green against the PR's own 22 tests.- Add two tests: a pipeline-level case for a good-toolchain/no-board chip (
stm32f103) asserting completion plus the warning, and agenerate_sdk("stm32f103")case asserting the fallback markers now appear on all four surfaces. The current suite has no pipeline test for that class — every pipeline test uses a target that resolves — which is why the regression is invisible to it. docs/guides/adding_a_board.mdStep 7 andcore/eos/docs/three-way-alignment.md:11,121(finding 5).- Optional, non-blocking: fold the two prefix scans into one helper (finding 4).

Review — ebuild#109 "fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile"
head: 409c1ca author: harshaaaaw ci: none (no checks recorded on this head)
Verdict: The SDK step now derives the toolchain from the detected profile instead of the board-name table, and the previous round's four findings are genuinely closed — I re-ran the suite and the claims hold. One gap remains in the same fix: _info_from_profile covers only Cortex-M/R, Cortex-A/ARM11, AArch64 and RISC-V64, so 13 ARM-family parts in the analyzer's own database still get no toolchain and, with the new hard stop, now exit 1 instead of building.
Findings
| # | Severity | File:line | Finding | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Medium | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:365-388 |
_info_from_profile returns None for every arch: arm part whose core is not Cortex-M/R, Cortex-A or ARM11. Combined with the new not toolchain_ok -> RuntimeError gate at commands.py:707, ebuild pipeline now exits 1 for 13 chips in MCU_DATABASE that the shipped arm-none-eabi / arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchains can build: lpc2148, lpc2368 (arm7tdmi), at91sam9, at91sam9g25 (arm926ej-s), sa110, sa1100, sa1110 (strongarm), pxa250, pxa255, pxa270, ixp420, ixp425, ixp465 (xscale). Nine of them resolve a real board directory (eBoot/boards/xscale, eBoot/boards/strongarm), so eBoot supports the part and only the toolchain derivation does not. This is the same class of bug the PR fixes for Cortex parts. |
Add a terminal ARM branch after the AArch64 test at :369, before the RISC-V guards: if arch == "arm": return {"arch": "arm", "triplet": "arm-none-eabi", "cpu": core or "arm7tdmi", ..., "class": "mcu"}. Keep it last so the Cortex-M/R, AArch64 and Cortex-A branches still win. Add a case for pxa270 (xscale) — the suite has no non-Cortex ARM case at all. |
| 2 | Low | ebuild/eos_ai/eos_project_generator.py:29 |
from ebuild.sdk_generator import _board_dir_for_mcu imports a leading-underscore symbol across a module boundary. Finding 4 of the previous round asked for one table and one scan, which this delivers, but the shared helper is now a cross-module contract carrying a private name — the next refactor of sdk_generator has no signal that an external caller depends on it. |
Rename to board_dir_for_mcu in sdk_generator.py:177 and update both call sites (:339 and eos_project_generator.py:667). MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD is already exported publicly on the same import line, so the pair should match. |
| 3 | Low | tests/ebuild/README.md:93 |
The doc sweep for the previous round's Finding 5 updated docs/guides/adding_a_board.md and core/eos/docs/three-way-alignment.md, but tests/ebuild/README.md still describes MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD as living in eos_project_generator.py. It is the third and last in-tree reference to the table's home. |
Change to ``ebuild/sdk_generator.py: MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD` (tms570/rm57/rm46 → `cortex_r5`)`, matching the wording already used in the other two files. |
Architecture conformance
Conforms. Master design §21 places ebuild in Tier 1 — Foundation; ebuild/eos_ai/ is an AI-assist subpackage inside that same Tier-1 repo, not the Tier-3 eAI product, and the PR body now says so. The move of MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD into ebuild/sdk_generator.py with an alias in eos_project_generator.py makes the dependency point from the assist subpackage down to the core generator, which satisfies §5.1 ("lower layers never depend on higher-level products") and the .ai/architect.md rule that an import pointing up a tier is a defect. Verified independently: import ebuild.sdk_generator pulls in no eos_ai module, and sdk_generator.py imports only argparse, json, os — no cycle. §9.2 ("actionable diagnostics with remediation guidance", "reproducible lockfiles/manifests for production builds") is served better by this head than by master: an unsupported target now produces a FATAL_ERROR and fallback markers instead of a manifest claiming an x86_64 target for an MCU.
Proposed changes
Smallest sequence that keeps everything building:
-
ebuild/sdk_generator.py, in_info_from_profile, after thearch in ("aarch64", "arm64")branch at :369 and before the RISC-V width guard at :382:if "cortex-a" in core or "arm11" in core: ...unchanged... + if arch == "arm": + # ARM7TDMI / ARM9 / StrongARM / XScale: no Cortex core string, but + # arm-none-eabi is exactly the toolchain these parts need. Last of + # the ARM branches so the Cortex and AArch64 tests still win. + return {"arch": "arm", "triplet": "arm-none-eabi", + "cpu": core or "arm7tdmi", "vendor": vendor, + "soc": getattr(profile, "mcu_family", "") or "MCU", "class": "mcu"}
Then add
test_profile_non_cortex_arm_gets_arm_toolchaincoveringpxa270(arch=arm,core=xscale, boardxscale) andlpc2148(arm7tdmi, no board) — the first asserts a triplet and a resolved board, the second asserts a triplet with the board warning. Both fail on this head. -
Rename
_board_dir_for_mcu→board_dir_for_mcu(three call sites) — mechanical, no behaviour change. -
One-line edit to
tests/ebuild/README.md:93.
Finding 1 is the only one that changes behaviour; 2 and 3 are safe to fold into the same commit.

Not checked
- No CI has run on this head —
checks.txtis empty, no workflow result of any kind. Every figure in the PR body, and every figure above, comes from a developer machine. You have already said this twice and it is still true; it is not something you can fix from the PR. TARGET_ARCHandEBOOT_BOARDhave identical key sets today, so thelinker_key = target if target in TARGET_ARCH else Noneguard and the stage-1EBOOT_BOARDlookup are the same gate. The defensive comment is fair, but nothing tests the divergent case.- I did not run any cross build or flash anything. The pipeline's own build step still passes
EOS_BOARD/EOS_ARCH/EOS_CORErather thanCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE, as your body states, so I could not confirm that the corrected toolchain reaches a compiler — only that the SDK artifacts are correct. - I could not verify how
stm32f103-class chips behave downstream of step 4. With a good toolchain and no board the pipeline now continues and steps 5-6 run against aneboot_board.cmakecarrying aFATAL_ERROR; whether any consumer in the pipeline includes that file is outside this diff.

Review — ebuild#109 "fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile"
head: 86d4c2f author: harshaaaaw ci: none reported (bundle checks.txt is empty; no workflow has run on this head)
Verdict: The three findings from the 409c1ca round are genuinely fixed and I reproduced them by execution rather than reading — the non-Cortex ARM branch resolves all 13 affected parts, board_dir_for_mcu is public at all three call sites, and the docs are consistent. Unlike previous rounds I was able to run this head (tree fetched at 86d4c2fc into a scratch checkout, since the local ebuild clone is dirty and the object is absent): 369 passed / 2 skipped, test_sdk_from_profile.py 25 passed, ruff E,F,W (ignore E501) clean, and import ebuild.sdk_generator pulls in zero eos_ai modules. The layering fix is real. What is still wrong is the other half of the resolver: it fails closed against boards eBoot actually ships and builds, and it says something false about the ecosystem while doing it.
Findings
| # | Severity | File:line | Finding | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | High | ebuild/sdk_generator.py (_resolve_eboot_board_dir, two-stage lookup) |
The resolver knows only (a) exact EBOOT_BOARD target names and (b) MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD chip-family prefixes. It does not know eBoot's core-named boards, so it returns None for parts whose board is on disk and wired into eBoot's build. Driving the analyzer's 171-entry MCU_DATABASE through this head's own resolver: 33 parts get eboot_board=None while eBoot/boards/<core> exists, 28 of them with a correctly resolving toolchain. Whole families, not edge cases: stm32f1/stm32f103 → boards/cortex_m3, stm32f0/stm32f030 → cortex_m0, stm32l0/stm32l072 → cortex_m0plus, stm32l5/stm32l562/stm32u5 → cortex_m33, lpc55/lpc55s06 → cortex_m23, ra8m1 → cortex_m85, corstone300 → cortex_m55, cortex_r52 → cortex_r52, rz_t1 → cortex_r4, lpc2148/lpc2368 → arm7tdmi, at91sam9/at91sam9g25 → arm9, bcm2835 → arm11, zynq7020 → cortex_a9, sama5d3/sama5d36 → cortex_a5, omap5/omap5432 → cortex_a15, imx8x → cortex_a35, rk3568 → cortex_a55, rk3588 → cortex_a76, plus pic16f877a/pic18f4550/pic24fj/dspic33f/at32uc3a on the toolchain-miss side. These are not stubs: eBoot/CMakeLists.txt calls eboot_add_board() for all 84 board dirs, and boards/cortex_m3/board_cortex_m3.h is headed "STM32F103 Cortex-M3 board configuration" and defines CORTEX_M3_FLASH_BASE/SIZE, A/B slot addresses, recovery and bootctl offsets — precisely the map the SDK reports as nonexistent. Consequence, executed: generate_sdk_from_profile for stm32f103 writes eboot/eboot_board.cmake containing only message(FATAL_ERROR "eos-sdk-stm32f103: unsupported target stm32f103; regenerate for a supported target (ebuild sdk --list)") and prints [warn] no eBoot board for stm32f103. Both statements are false, and ebuild sdk --list prints the 14 TARGET_ARCH names — it can never contain the user's chip, so the remediation is a dead end (master design §9.2 "actionable diagnostics with remediation guidance"; §25.2 "excellent errors with suggested fixes"). I am not rounding this down: master was worse (get_eboot_board() handed every one of these an x86 board), so this is an incomplete fix rather than a regression — but the artifact is now unusable by construction for 33 parts the ecosystem supports, and the diagnostic asserts a fact about eBoot that is contradicted by eBoot's own tree. |
Add a third resolver stage between the prefix match and the None: normalise profile.core to eBoot's board-directory spelling (cortex-m3 → cortex_m3, cortex-m0+ → cortex_m0plus, cortex-m4f/cortex-r4f → strip the trailing f, arm926ej-s → arm9, arm1176jzf-s → arm11, arm7tdmi → arm7tdmi, strongarm-* → strongarm) and accept it only if the directory exists in the board list. Keep the exact-target and family-prefix stages ahead of it so nothing already resolving changes. The per-chip MEMORY gate stays on linker_key = target if target in TARGET_ARCH else None — a core-generic board must not imply a per-part memory map, which is the stm32f401 lesson from the cf0fa8e round. Then correct the two messages: a genuine miss should say "eBuild has no board mapping for <t>; eBoot ships <n> boards, none matching core <core>", not "unsupported target". |
| 2 | Medium | ebuild/cli/integration.py:623 |
ebuild sdk --target <unsupported> reports success on a deliberately unusable artifact. sdk() calls generate_sdk(target, output), which computes toolchain_ok = target in TARGET_ARCH and then throws it away — generate_sdk returns sdk_dir only — so the command unconditionally runs log.success("SDK generated: " + str(sdk_dir)) and exits 0. Executed on this head with the PR's own headline chip: ebuild sdk --target nrf52840 prints the [warn], then [ok] SDK generated: .../eos-sdk-nrf52840, exit code 0, having written toolchain.cmake with x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc and an eboot_board.cmake whose last line is message(FATAL_ERROR ...). The pipeline path was hardened in this same PR (commands.py:707 raises RuntimeError); this path was not, so the two entry points to the same generator disagree on whether a fallback SDK is a success. .ai/reviewer.md: "a verification whose result is discarded" is a finding. |
Smallest fix that does not disturb test_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64 (which pins generate_sdk's return value): in integration.py, from ebuild.sdk_generator import TARGET_ARCH, and after generation if target not in TARGET_ARCH: log.error(<same warn text + ebuild sdk --list>); raise SystemExit(1). Mirrors commands.py:707 exactly. Add a test asserting the non-zero exit — the suite currently asserts the fallback content and never the exit status, which is why this survived. |
| 3 | Medium | core/eos/docs/three-way-alignment.md:11 |
This PR edits the "Board definitions" row to correct the ebuild column, and leaves the other two columns stale in the same row: it still reads "25 YAML files in eos/boards/" and "25 board ports in eboot/boards/" with status "✅ Aligned". Counted on the synced trees: eos/boards/*.yaml = 84, eBoot/boards/ = 83 directories with 84 eboot_add_board() calls, TARGET_ARCH = 14, MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD = 138 prefixes. The row asserts alignment between three inventories, two of its three numbers are wrong by a factor of three, and the drift it hides is exactly Finding 1. A row claiming "✅ Aligned" while nothing cross-checks it is the unsupported claim .ai/reviewer.md asks for. |
Update both counts in the row you are already touching, and either drop the ✅ or name the check that earns it. If no check exists, mark the row as unverified rather than aligned — .github/STANDARDS.md: a claim without linked evidence and a verifying workflow is aspirational and must be labelled as such. |
| 4 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py (_info_from_profile, terminal arch == "arm" branch) |
The new branch and the cortex-a/arm11 branch above it classify adjacent MMU-bearing ARM application cores oppositely. Executed: at91sam9g25 (arm926ej-s, Microchip SAM9 — a Linux-class SoC) → arm-none-eabi, Class: mcu, set(EBOOT_BARE_METAL ON); bcm2835 (arm1176jzf-s, the next ARM generation, same MMU class) → arm-linux-gnueabihf, Class: sbc, set(EBOOT_BARE_METAL OFF). The same split hits sa110/sa1100/sa1110 and pxa250/255/270/ixp4xx, all of which get BARE_METAL ON. For an SDK whose consumer is a bootloader the sbc/OFF/hosted-triplet side is the more suspect of the two — eBoot cannot link against a *-linux-gnueabihf sysroot — so this is worth settling rather than leaving to whichever branch a core string happens to hit. Not a build break today: all six of these parts also fail Finding 1's board lookup. |
Decide the rule explicitly and comment it: either "MMU-bearing application core → sbc" (then add arm9/arm926/strongarm/xscale to the branch above) or "eBoot always builds bare-metal, class describes the EoS payload not the bootloader" (then say so and revisit the cortex-a branch's BARE_METAL OFF). A test asserting at91sam9g25 and bcm2835 land on the same side would pin whichever you pick. |
| 5 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py (MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD, sifive/ultrasparc rows) |
The longest-prefix fix from the 9395e39 round works (esp32c3 → esp32c3, ultrasparc_t → sparc64, both verified), but two rows are wrong-width at any prefix length: board_dir_for_mcu("sifive_e") → sifive_u, mapping the 32-bit RV32IMAC E-series to the 64-bit U-series board, and board_dir_for_mcu("ultrasparc") → sparc although its MCU_DATABASE arch is sparc64. Both are masked today only because the toolchain gate drops the board for riscv32/sparc64, and the mask disappears the moment an rv32 toolchain lands — eBoot/boards/riscv32 already exists and is wired into eboot_add_board(), so that is a near-term change, not a hypothetical. |
Add "sifive_e": "riscv32" (the board eBoot ships) and "ultrasparc": "sparc64", or drop the bare "sifive" row so sifive_e misses honestly instead of matching the wrong width. |
Architecture conformance
Conforms, and the §5.1 fix from the previous rounds holds under execution rather than inspection. MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD and board_dir_for_mcu live in ebuild/sdk_generator.py; ebuild/eos_ai/eos_project_generator.py imports from there; sdk_generator.py's only imports are argparse, json, os (Verified: import ebuild.sdk_generator loads no eos_ai or llm module). _info_from_profile reads the profile by getattr duck-typing, so the Tier-1 module takes no type dependency on the AI-assist subpackage either — that is the right shape, not just an acceptable one. §21 tier placement is correct: ebuild is Tier 1 - Foundation and this is Tier-1 SDK work; no cross-repo runtime edge is added, and §5.1's "eBuild understands the complete graph but is not a runtime dependency" is respected because everything here is generation-time.
The one architectural observation is Finding 1 read as a boundary question rather than a bug: eBoot owns 84 board ports, eos owns 84 board YAMLs, and ebuild owns two independent tables of 14 and 138 entries that are supposed to describe the same set. Nothing reconciles them, and §21 assigns no owner for the board inventory itself, which is why the row in Finding 3 can claim alignment at a count that has been wrong for 59 boards. Recorded as a proposal, not held against this PR.
Proposed changes
Smallest sequence that keeps everything building:
integration.py: importTARGET_ARCH, exit non-zero on a fallback SDK (Finding 2). One import, three lines, no signature change,test_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64untouched. Add the exit-status test.sdk_generator.py: addcore_dir_for_core(core)next toboard_dir_for_mcu, normalising the core spelling and validating against the board list; call it as stage 3 of_resolve_eboot_board_dirafter the existing two stages so no currently-resolving target changes. Leavelinker_keyalone. (Finding 1)- Reword the two
[warn]lines and theFATAL_ERRORtext to distinguish "eBuild has no mapping" from "eBoot ships no board", and stop pointing a chip that will never appear in--listat--list. (Finding 1) - Fix the two counts and the ✅ in
three-way-alignment.md:11. (Finding 3) - Add the two wrong-width rows or drop the
sifiverow. (Finding 5) - Settle the
classrule for MMU-bearing ARM cores with a comment and one test. (Finding 4)
Steps 1 and 2 are the ones that matter; 3–6 are cheap and can ride along. Step 2 will need a matrix test in the shape you already use — assert every one of the 33 parts either resolves a board that exists in eBoot/boards/ or reports a miss whose message is true.

My own figures are from a scratch checkout on Linux and are not CI either. - What I did run, so it is not mistaken for CI:

boards/cortex_m3and the other core-named ports are complete enough to boot the parts they name. I verified they contain a real memory map, aboard_*_get_ops()entry point and aneboot_add_board()call — enough to make the "no eBoot board" message false, which is Finding 1's claim, and not enough to promise the resulting firmware runs. §22's support tier for any of them is unknown; no artifact records one. - Not assessed:
_info_from_profileagainst adversarialarch/corestrings beyond theMCU_DATABASEvalues (mixed case is handled by the.lower()calls; underscore spellings such ascortex_a9would miss thecortex-atest and fall into the terminal ARM branch, but no analyzer path produces that spelling today).

# fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile ## What `ebuild pipeline --board nrf52840` detects the chip (ARM Cortex-M4, Nordic) but then emits an x86_64 toolchain, so the firmware targets a desktop PC and never compiles for the chip. The SDK step now uses the detected profile, so the toolchain matches the hardware. ## Why Step 4 of `_run_pipeline_steps` called `generate_sdk(board.lower(), ...)`, passing the board *name string*, not the profile. `nrf52840` is not a `TARGET_ARCH` key, so it fell back to x86_64. The analyzer had already answered the question; the build step discarded it. ## How Added `generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, output_dir, target=None)`: 1. **Known target wins.** If the caller-supplied target (the board string the pipeline resolved) is a `TARGET_ARCH` key, use that canonical mapping exactly as the legacy `generate_sdk` would. Every supported board is byte-identical to the pre-fix behavior. 2. **Unknown chip, derive from profile.** The **architecture** is tested before the core, so 64-bit ARM (`arch` = `aarch64`/`arm64`) wins over a Cortex-A core string, while 32-bit Cortex-A / ARM11 parts keep `arm-linux-gnueabihf` + `class: sbc`; AArch64 / RISC-V map to their shipped triplets. `riscv32` and other architectures with no shipped toolchain return `None` and keep the honest x86_64 fallback. 3. **eBoot board resolves from the profile.** A single resolver (`_resolve_eboot_board_dir`) does an exact target-name match in `EBOOT_BOARD`, then an MCU-prefix match against the analyzer's `MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD` (so the flagship `nrf52840` -> `nrf52`, which the old target-name-only lookup missed). On a miss the writer appends a `FATAL_ERROR` to `eboot_board.cmake` so a consumer fails closed instead of expanding an empty `EBOOT_BOARD_DIR`. **Note (behaviour change, stated honestly):** for a target *outside* `TARGET_ARCH` reached via `ebuild sdk --target <name>` (e.g. `nrf52840`), the legacy `generate_sdk` wrote `EBOOT_BOARD x86`, whereas this path now writes no eboot board at all (fail-loud). Known `TARGET_ARCH` targets are byte-identical to legacy, including their eboot board. **F1 deferral (per architecture review):** making the legacy `ebuild sdk --target <name>` path also resolve via the profile is a separate behaviour change — it touches every unmapped target and retires `test_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64` — so it is scoped to its own follow-up PR, not this one. ## Test plan (commands + results, executed) ``` PYTHONPATH= python -m pytest tests/unit/test_sdk_from_profile.py -q 16 passed in 1.4s ``` The 16 tests cover: legacy name fallback (`test_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64`), nrf52840 profile (`test_sdk_from_profile_nrf52840`), the pipeline regression guard (`test_pipeline_sdk_matches_detected_profile`), raspi4 aarch64 preservation (`test_pipeline_sdk_raspi4_stays_aarch64`), unmapped MCU skipping a foreign linker script (`test_detected_unmapped_mcu_skips_foreign_linker_script`), unmapped MCU emitting no x86 eboot board (`test_unmapped_mcu_emits_no_x86_eboot_board`), unknown-MCU fallback (`test_sdk_from_profile_unknown_mcu_uses_fallback`), known-target byte-identical matrix (`test_known_targets_do_not_regress_through_pipeline`), 64-bit ARM ordering (`test_profile_aarch64_core_cortex_a72_is_64bit_toolchain`), riscv64 class (`test_profile_riscv64_is_sbc_class`), riscv32 honest fallback (`test_profile_riscv32_uses_honest_fallback`), eboot-key shape (`test_eboot_key_is_target_name_or_none`), nrf52840->nrf52 board via MCU prefix (`test_pipeline_nrf52840_gets_eboot_nrf52`), stm32f103 fail-closed (`test_stm32f103_still_no_eboot_and_fails_closed`), RISC-V alternate-spelling guard (`test_riscv_alt_spelling_falls_back`), and vendor threading (`test_vendor_threaded_from_profile`). Full unit suite (this branch): `359 passed, 2 skipped` (3 unrelated env failures: `test_footprint` needs an external `size` tool; `test_version_fallback` belongs to a separate branch and is not in this PR). 14-target pipeline matrix (ran it): every `TARGET_ARCH` target produces a byte-identical `CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR` + `EBOOT_BOARD` through the pipeline vs legacy `generate_sdk` — **0 regressions**, including the six targets the analyzer gives no `mcu` for (raspi3, raspi4, vexpress, riscv_virt, malta, qemu_virt). `rp2040` (board -> `samd51`) gets no per-chip linker script in both legacy and this head, since `samd51` is not a `TARGET_ARCH` key — unchanged, not a regression. ## Out of scope The image step and budget checks are separate issues. The SDK's `toolchain.cmake` is written for `environment-setup` consumers; `_run_cmake_build` still passes `EOS_BOARD`/`EOS_ARCH`/`EOS_CORE`, not `CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE`, so the pipeline's own build step does not yet consume it — noted so this is not mistaken for closing the cross-compilation gap. Bare-metal `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME` configuration (so `cmake` accepts the generated toolchain) is a pre-existing gap in its own PR. F1 (profile resolution in the legacy `ebuild sdk --target` path) is deferred to its own PR per the architecture review. ## Risks Medium, scoped to SDK generation. Detected ARM/AArch64/RISC-V chips now get the right toolchain; a detected MCU whose eboot board ebuild does not ship fails closed (FATAL_ERROR) instead of a wrong memory map; known targets unchanged. No public API changed. No CI run has executed on this head — every figure above is from the author's machine.

Review — ebuild#109 "fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile"
head: a94cb8c author: harshaaaaw ci: none reported (bundle checks.txt is empty; pr.json carries no statusCheckRollup; mergeStateStatus: BLOCKED is REVIEW_REQUIRED, not a red check)
Verdict: Follow-up on 86d4c2f. All five findings from that round are addressed, and I reproduced each by execution on a scratch checkout of this head rather than by reading: the stage-3 core-class resolver turns 33 false "eBoot ships no board" verdicts into real boards, ebuild sdk --target nrf52840 now exits 1, the two diagnostics no longer lie, the class rule is written down and pinned, and the two wrong-width rows are gone. Your own sweep numbers hold — stage1=8 stage2=124 stage3=33 miss=6, and a per-chip diff of _resolve_eboot_board_dir between 86d4c2f and a94cb8c shows exactly two chips leaving a resolving board, both of them the deliberate Finding-5 drops. The new defect is in the normalisation the fix introduced: _normalise_core strips +, so every Cortex-M0**+** part is handed the Cortex-M0 board port, and the cortex_m0plus port that eBoot ships for precisely those chips is now unreachable from any code path. That is a fail-open where 86d4c2f failed closed.
Findings
| # | Severity | File:line | Finding | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | High | ebuild/sdk_generator.py (_normalise_core / _CORE_ABBREV / board_dir_for_core) |
Cortex-M0+ parts resolve to the Cortex-M0 board. _normalise_core is re.sub(r"[^a-z0-9]", "", core.lower()), which deletes the +, so cortex-m0+ and cortex-m0 both normalise to cortexm0 and the exact-match loop returns cortex_m0. The ("cortexm0", "cortexm0") row in _CORE_ABBREV carries the comment "keep m0 distinct from m0plus below" — there is no m0plus row below, and the loop's abbrev != target guard skips that row entirely, so it is a no-op documenting behaviour the code does not have. Executed on this head: board_dir_for_core("cortex-m0+") → cortex_m0; generate_sdk_from_profile for stm32l072 writes set(EBOOT_BOARD cortex_m0) and set(EBOOT_BOARD_DIR .../eboot/boards/cortex_m0) in the same file as set(EBOOT_CPU cortex-m0+), prints eBoot board: cortex_m0 (mcu) and exits 0. Nothing can reach cortex_m0plus: no MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD row maps to it (checked — zero rows), and the only spelling MCU_DATABASE emits is cortex-m0+. The two ports are not interchangeable. At the pinned eBoot rev 39b0925, boards/cortex_m0plus/board_cortex_m0plus.h is headed "STM32L072 Cortex-M0+ board configuration" — it is literally this chip's port — with FLASH_SIZE 192K, RAM_SIZE 20K, CPU_HZ 32000000, BOARD_ID 0x00A1; boards/cortex_m0/board_cortex_m0.h is "STM32F030 Cortex-M0" with FLASH_SIZE 32K, RAM_SIZE 4K, CPU_HZ 48000000, BOARD_ID 0x0001. Every A/B slot, recovery, bootctl, bootctl-backup and log address in eBoot derives from that FLASH_SIZE, so an eBoot built against the M0 map on an STM32L072 puts BOOTCTL_ADDR at 0x08006000 and RECOVERY_ADDR at 0x08005555 — inside the application image on a 192 KB part, rather than in the region the L0 port reserves. Affects stm32l0 and stm32l072 today. Rated High, not Critical, deliberately: I resolved the wrong board by execution but did not build or flash eBoot, so the corruption path is Inferred from the two headers, not observed. It becomes Critical the moment anyone ships firmware from an L0 SDK generated by this path. |
Normalise + to a token instead of deleting it: re.sub(r"[^a-z0-9]", "", core.lower().replace("+", "plus")), which makes cortex-m0+ → cortexm0plus → the existing cortex_m0plus entry match exactly, and leaves every other core string unchanged (no other MCU_DATABASE core contains + except the composite cortex-a7+m4 / cortex-a53+r5f, both of which already miss stage 3 and are covered by stage 1/2). Then delete the ("cortexm0", "cortexm0") no-op row, or replace it with a real rule and drop the abbrev != target guard that makes identity rows unreachable. Pre-existing and out of scope, but the same shape: EBOOT_BOARD["rp2040"] = "samd51" maps a Cortex-M0+ to the Cortex-M4F board at stage 1, where cortex_m0plus also exists — worth a separate issue rather than a change here. |

The new matrix test asserts existence, not identity, which is why Finding 1 shipped green. The test iterates 14 chips — including "stm32l072": "cortex-m0+" — and asserts only board_dir_for_core(core) is not None. It passes on any non-None answer, including the wrong board. The previous round asked for a matrix that pins "every one of the 33 parts either resolves a board that exists in eBoot/boards/ or reports a miss whose message is true"; as written it checks neither which board came back nor that the directory exists. Same weakness one test down: test_sdk_command_exits_nonzero_on_fallback_target asserts "no cross-toolchain" in result.output, but the pre-existing [warn] line on stdout already contains that exact substring (verified — the new log.error goes to stderr, and click 8.5 keeps result.output as stdout), so only the exit_code != 0 half of that test is load-bearing; the message half would pass with the new log.error deleted. |
Turn the dict into core -> expected board dir and assert equality — assert board_dir_for_core(core) == expected — with "cortex-m0+": "cortex_m0plus" among them; that single change turns Finding 1 red. Add assert board_dir_for_core(core) in _EBOOT_CORE_BOARDS so a future rename cannot invent a directory. For the CLI test, assert on result.stderr (or on a substring unique to the new error, e.g. "eboot/eboot_board.cmake carries"). |

One stale number left in the row, and it is the one this commit changed. The eBoot column is right — I counted eboot_add_board( at the pinned rev 39b0925 from core/UPSTREAM.yaml: 138 calls over 83 board dirs, exactly as written (my first count of 83 was against the local eBoot checkout, which is on a later branch; the row's "(pinned rev)" qualifier is what makes it correct). But the ebuild column still says MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD 138 and the status text repeats "14/138", while this same commit deletes the sifive and ultrasparc rows: len(MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD) is 136 at this head. Your PR comment says 136 — the file says 138, so the comment and the diff disagree and the file is the one that ships. Two smaller points in the same row: the eos column is counted at upstream (84) while the eboot column is counted at the pin (83), so the headline "84 vs 83" mismatch it asks the reader to worry about is an artifact of two different reference points — at the eos pin 5544c98 the count is also 83. And the row now says "three inventories … and nothing cross-checks them" while this commit adds a fourth, _EBOOT_CORE_BOARDS (58 entries), which the row does not mention. |
138 → 136 in the ebuild column and in the status text; count both product columns at their pins or both at upstream and say which; add _EBOOT_CORE_BOARDS (58) to the ebuild column so the row describes the tables that actually exist. |
| 4 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py (_EBOOT_CORE_BOARDS) |
The frozen board list is correct today and nothing keeps it correct. Verified against the pin: all 58 entries exist in 39b0925:boards/, zero phantoms — the judgement call you flagged in the PR comment holds, and preferring the pin over the 26-board vendored snapshot is the right call for a list the generated project resolves against. What is missing is the check: eBoot renaming or adding a core-class port silently desynchronises a Tier-1 constant, and scripts/check_vendor_drift.py guards the vendored snapshot, not this. Two consequences already visible at the pin: 14 core-class dirs eBoot ships are absent from the constant (mips, powerpc, m68k, sh4, sparc, nios2, microblaze, riscv64_virt, frv, h8300, ia64, lm32, loongarch, mn103), and avr is present but unreachable because MCU_DATABASE spells AVR cores avr5/avr6/avr25 — so atmega328p/atmega2560/attiny85 still miss a board that exists. All of that is masked only by the toolchain gate (_info_from_profile returns None for avr/mips/ppc/sparc), which is the same mask the last round's Finding 5 was about: it disappears when a toolchain lands. |
Add a test that reads core/UPSTREAM.yaml, and when an eBoot clone or the pinned tree is reachable asserts _EBOOT_CORE_BOARDS <= set(boards/), skipping otherwise — a skipped test still fails loudly the day someone wires the tree in. Leave the miss list alone until a toolchain exists; it is honest today. |
| 5 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:722 |
The dead-end remediation survives on the one branch that was not reworded. You correctly stopped pointing a detected MCU at ebuild sdk --list in the board-miss and toolchain-miss diagnostics, but the elif info["class"] == "mcu" and linker_key is None branch still prints [warn] no per-chip linker script for stm32l072: eBoot ships no memory map for this exact part. Run 'ebuild sdk --list' for supported targets. — observed verbatim on this head. --list prints the 14 TARGET_ARCH names and can never contain stm32l072, so this is the same false lead the previous round's Finding 1 named, on the branch a resolved-board chip now always takes. |
Drop the Run \ebuild sdk --list`sentence from line 722, or replace it with the branch's actual remedy: the board is correct and only the per-partMEMORYblock is missing, so the developer's move is to supply a linker script, not to pick a different target. (Lines 532 and 552 keep--list` correctly — those are toolchain misses, where the list is the right answer.) |
Follow-up on the 86d4c2f findings
- F1 (High, false "no board" for core-named ports) — addressed, and it introduced Finding 1 above. Stage 3 added to
_resolve_eboot_board_dir. Executed: the 171-rowMCU_DATABASEsweep goes from 37 misses to 6, and every one of the 33 newly-resolved chips lands on a directory that exists at the pin (0 phantom resolutions). Per-chip diff against86d4c2f: 35 chips changed, 33 of themNone → real board, and the only two that left a resolving board aresifive_e(sifive_u → None) andultrasparc(sparc → None), i.e. F5. Your "strictly additive" claim is Verified, not taken on trust. All 6 remaining misses (atmega2560,atmega328p,attiny85,gd32vf103,sifive_e,ultrasparc) are toolchain misses where_info_from_profilereturnsNone, so the board is dropped anyway and theFATAL_ERRORtext is true.stm32f103→cortex_m3reproduced end to end. - F2 (Medium,
sdk --targetreports success on a fallback) — resolved. Executed:ebuild sdk --target nrf52840→[error]on stderr, exit 1;ebuild sdk --target nrf52→[ok] SDK generated, exit 0. EveryTARGET_ARCHtarget has anEBOOT_BOARDrow (checked: 14/14), so the profile-less CLI path cannot reach a board miss and the single toolchain gate closes it completely. - F3 (Medium, stale alignment row) — partially. The ✅ is gone and "
⚠️ Unverified" is the right label per.github/STANDARDS.md; the eos and eBoot counts check out against their stated sources. One number is still wrong — see Finding 3. - F4 (Low, MMU class-rule split) — resolved. Rule stated on the
arch == "arm"branch and pinned bytest_mmu_class_rule_pinned(at91sam9g25→ mcu/arm-none-eabi,bcm2835→ sbc/arm-linux-gnueabihf,cortex-a9→ sbc). Settling it explicitly was the ask; which side you picked was yours. Not verified: the comment's supporting claim that the classic-ARM ports are direct-boot — I did not read those board sources. - F5 (Low, wrong-width rows) — resolved.

Architecture conformance
Conforms, unchanged from the last round and re-verified rather than recalled. §5.1: ebuild/sdk_generator.py imports argparse, json, os, re and nothing else; import ebuild.sdk_generator loads zero eos_ai/llm modules; _info_from_profile and stage 3 read the profile by getattr duck-typing, so the Tier-1 module still takes no type dependency on the AI-assist subpackage. §21: ebuild is Tier 1 - Foundation and this is Tier-1 SDK work; nothing here is a runtime dependency, consistent with §5.1's "eBuild understands the complete graph but is not a runtime dependency".
The architectural observation is Finding 4 read as a boundary question. §5.1 says eBuild understands the complete graph and never says how it is told the graph, and §21 assigns no owner for the board inventory. The practical result in this diff: to know what eBoot ships, a Tier-1 source file now hand-freezes a copy of another repository's directory listing, and that copy is the fourth uncross-checked description of the same set (TARGET_ARCH 14, MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD 136, _EBOOT_CORE_BOARDS 58, eBoot's own 83 dirs / 138 eboot_add_board() calls). Nothing in the design says which of those is authoritative, and that silence is the reason Finding 1 is invisible rather than a build error. Recorded as a proposal for .ai/autoreview/proposals/2026-09.md, not held against this PR.
Proposed changes
Smallest sequence that keeps everything green:
_normalise_core:.replace("+", "plus")before the character strip (Finding 1). One expression;cortex_m0plusis already in_EBOOT_CORE_BOARDS, so nothing else moves. Delete the("cortexm0", "cortexm0")no-op row in the same commit.test_core_named_boards_resolve_from_core_string: assert the board name, notis not None, and add"cortex-m0+": "cortex_m0plus"(Finding 2). Write this before step 1 and watch it fail — it is the test that would have caught the bug.three-way-alignment.md:11:138→136in the ebuild column and the status text; note_EBOOT_CORE_BOARDS58; state one reference point for both product columns (Finding 3).- Drop the
sdk --listsentence atsdk_generator.py:722(Finding 5). - Add the
_EBOOT_CORE_BOARDS ⊆ pinned boards/test, skipping when no eBoot tree is reachable (Finding 4).
Steps 1 and 2 are the ones that matter; 3–5 are cheap and can ride along.

fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile
What
ebuild pipeline --board nrf52840detects the chip (ARM Cortex-M4, Nordic) but then emits an x86_64 toolchain, so the firmware targets a desktop PC and never compiles for the chip. The SDK step now uses the detected profile, so the toolchain matches the hardware.Why
Step 4 of
_run_pipeline_stepscalledgenerate_sdk(board.lower(), ...), passing the board name string, not the profile.nrf52840is not aTARGET_ARCHkey, so it fell back to x86_64. The analyzer had already answered the question; the build step discarded it.How

Sostm32f103gets the realcortex_m3board its core uses, not a false "no board" — previously 28 analyzer-known parts were told eBoot ships nothing while the port was on disk. Wrong-width rows are dropped, not resolved:sifive_e(RV32) no longer maps to the 64-bitsifive_uboard and bareultrasparcno longer maps to the 32-bitsparcboard. Stage 3 is last, so no previously-resolving target changes. The per-chip MEMORY block is still gated on an exact target match only (a family sibling gets board vars, never a foreign linker script).ebuild sdk --targetexits non-zero on a fallback SDK. The pipeline path raised on a toolchain miss; theebuild sdk --targetpath reported success for the same artifact. Both now gate identically (TARGET_ARCHmembership): an unsupported target prints the error and exits 1, a known target still exits 0. No generator signature changed, so the pinned fallback-content tests are untouched.classdescribes the EoS payload tier, not the bootloader (eBoot itself always builds bare-metal): classic non-Cortex ARM (ARM7/ARM9/StrongARM/XScale) ->arm-none-eabi+class: mcu; Cortex-A/ARM11 application cores -> hosted triplet +class: sbc(Linux payload).

A board miss with a good toolchain warns and continues — the 24 analyzer-known parts with correct derived toolchains (e.g.stm32f103→arm-none-eabi) complete the pipeline exactly asmasterdid, while any consumer that actually needs the board still fails by name. Both warnings name which half missed.toolchain.cmakecontent itself is untouched, so the documented legacy x86_64 fallback still stands. The legacygenerate_sdkpassestoolchain_ok=target in TARGET_ARCH, so an unmapped name gets the same honest labels.MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARDlives inebuild/sdk_generator.py(Tier-1);EosProjectGenerator(the AI-assist subpackage) holds a class-attribute alias importing it from there, so the dependency points down.import ebuild.sdk_generatorloads zeroeos_ai/llmmodules.eos_product_enables.h:EosConfigGeneratoralready writes the identicalEOS_ENABLE_*block intoeos_product_config.hfrom the sameprofile.get_eos_enables(), and nothing consumed the SDK's copy. One source of truth, no drift. The board-onboarding guide (docs/guides/adding_a_board.mdStep 7) and the alignment doc (core/eos/docs/three-way-alignment.md) now point at the table's real home.Note (behaviour change, stated honestly): for a target outside
TARGET_ARCH, the legacygenerate_sdkwroteEBOOT_BOARD x86, whereas this path writes no eboot board at all (fail-loud) plus honest fallback labels. KnownTARGET_ARCHtargets are byte-identical to legacy, including their eboot board and linker scripts. Likewise,ebuild pipeline --board <chip-with-no-toolchain>now fails with exit 1 where it previously printed success with an x86_64 SDK — that is the point of the fix, but it is a behaviour change and it is stated here. Chips with a good toolchain and no board (e.g.stm32f103) complete exactly as before.F1 deferral (per architecture review): making the legacy
ebuild sdk --target <name>path also resolve via the profile is a separate behaviour change — it touches every unmapped target and retirestest_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64— so it is scoped to its own follow-up PR, not this one.Test plan (commands + results, executed)

Medium, scoped to SDK generation. Detected ARM/AArch64/RISC-V chips now get the right toolchain; a chip with no toolchain fails the pipeline with exit 1; a chip with a toolchain but no board completes with a warning and a board-level
