28
+ source, and configuration files.
29
+
30
+ "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
31
+ transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
32
+ not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
33
+ and conversions to other media types.
34
+
35
+ "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
36
+ Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
37
+ copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
38
+ (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
39
+
40
+ "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
41
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
42
+ editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
43
+ represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
44
+ of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
45
+ separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
46
+ the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
47
+
48
+ "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
49
+ the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
50
+ to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
51
+ submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
52
+ or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
53
+ the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
54
+ means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
55
+ to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
56
+ communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,

58
+ Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but

66
+ 2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
67
+ this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
68
+ worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
69
+ copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

+ publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
71
+ Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
72
+
73
+ 3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
74
+ this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,

76
+ (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
77
+ use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
78
+ where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
79
+ by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
80
+ Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
81
+ with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
82
+ institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
83
+ cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
84
+ or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
85
+ or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
86
+ granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
87
+ as of the date such litigation is filed.
88
+
89
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
90
+ Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
91
+ modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
92
+ meet the following conditions:
93
+
94
+ (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
95
+ Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
96
+
97
+ (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
98
+ stating that You changed the files; and
99
+
100
+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
101
+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
102
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
103
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
104
+ the Derivative Works; and
105
+
106
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
107
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
108
+ include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
109
+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
110
+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
111
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
112
+ as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
113
+ documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
114
+ within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
115
+ wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
116
+ of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
117
+ do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
118
+ notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
119
+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
120
+ that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
121
+ as modifying the License.
122
+
123
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
124
+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
125
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
126
+ for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
127
+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
128
+ the conditions stated in this License.
129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
131
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
132
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
133
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
134
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
135
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
136
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
137
+
138
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
139
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
140
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
141
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
142
+
143
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
144
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
145
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
146
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
147
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
148
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
149
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
150
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
151
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
152
+
153
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
154
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
155
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
156
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
157
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
161
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
163
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
164
+
165
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
166
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
167
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
168
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
169
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
170
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
171
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
172
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
173
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
174
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+ # MAK IDE
17
+
18
+ An instrument workbench for the **MAK8u**, a dual-core deterministic
19
+ microcontroller on a Nexys A7 (Artix-7). It runs in a terminal.
20
+
21
+ ```
22
+ mak
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ ---
26
+
27
+ ## Read this first: there is no debugger, and there cannot be one
28
+
29
+ The obvious ask for a microcontroller IDE is Keil, and Keil's value is
30
+ overwhelmingly its **debugger** — halt the core, single-step, set a breakpoint,
31
+ watch registers and memory live.
32
+
33
+ > **The MAK8u has no debug interface.** There is no halt, no single-step, no
34
+ > breakpoint, no register readback, and no way for the host to read target
35
+ > memory. The only host-to-target channel is one UART.
36
+
37
+ That is the hardware as built, not a gap in this tool. A tool that implied
38
+ otherwise would be promising a product that cannot exist on this silicon.
39
+
40
+ What the machine does offer, and what this workbench is built on:
41
+
42
+ | channel | direction | carries |
43
+ |---|---|---|
44
+ | UART bootloader protocol | host → target | a whole program image, magic-framed and checksummed |
45
+ | UART, program-driven | target → host | whatever the running program chooses to transmit |
46
+ | 16 LEDs | target → eye | heartbeats, lock, reset, per-core retire, error stickies |
47
+ | 8-digit seven-segment | target → eye | one of eight values, selected by `sw[5:3]` |
48
+ | `sw[7]`, `sw[6]` | hand → target | boot-witness probe; priming defeat |
49
+ | boot witness | target → program | what the flash reader saw, readable only *by a program on the target* |
50
+
51
+ **Every observation of internal state is made by a program you load.** The host
52
+ never reads the machine; it reads what a program on the machine says. So this is
53
+ an instrument workbench, not a debugger — which turns out to suit the device,
54
+ because its whole method is purpose-built witness images.
55
+
56
+ ---
57
+
58
+ ## What works
59
+
60
+ | feature | state |
61
+ |---|---|
62
+ | Editor with live assembler diagnostics | **works** — line and, where the assembler quotes a token, column |
63
+ | Build to a `.mem` image | **works** |
64
+ | Image inspector and disassembler | **works** — what is at word N, and which source line put it there |
65
+ | Load over UART, run, monitor | **works** — hex/ascii, pause, save log |
66
+ | Instruments pane, seventeen `read_*_hw.py` readers | **works**, one command each, globbed from disk |
67
+ | Boot-witness reader | **works** — refuses a short dump rather than decoding it |
68
+ | Self-boot regression checklist | **works** — and reports INCONCLUSIVE, never green, on a one-sided run |
69
+ | Command line, three layout modes | **works** — `/` lists everything, by name |
70
+ | Program the FPGA or its flash from macOS | **not shipped** — see below |
71
+ | RTL regression suite | **impossible here** — Vivado has no macOS build |
72
+ | Source-level debugger | **impossible** — see above |
73
+ | Assistant pane | **works** — NVIDIA NIM, grounded in the repository, citing every fact |
74
+ | Project window, file operations, documentation panel | **works** |
75
+
76
+ ### What it looks like
77
+
78
+ Work mode, with the assembler's verdict under the token it quoted — `R9` is
79
+ not a register this machine has:
80
+
81
+ ![Work mode: the editor, the explorer, and one diagnostic](docs/work.svg)
82
+
83
+ `/` on its own, listing every command this project has, including one per
84
+ `read_*_hw.py` found on disk:
85
+
86
+ ![The command line, open and listing](docs/commands.svg)
87
+
88
+ The Welcome screen:
89
+
90
+ ![The Welcome screen: recent projects, documentation, the port](docs/welcome.svg)
91
+
92
+ These are exported from a real run of the app, not drawn by hand, by
93
+ `docs/screenshots.py` — and `tests/test_screenshots.py` re-renders them and
94
+ fails when the app stops drawing what they show. A screenshot is the one claim
95
+ in a repository that rots without anyone noticing, because a picture cannot
96
+ fail a test.
97
+
98
+ ### Programming the board
99
+
100
+ Flashing is **not part of this tool on macOS**. Vivado has no macOS build, and
101
+ while `openFPGALoader` exists and installs cleanly, this checkout has never
102
+ programmed a board with it. Bitstreams are built on the Windows box, and
103
+ `*.bit` is not committed. Treat macOS flashing as unproven until there is a
104
+ measurement saying otherwise.
105
+
106
+ The board **boots from its own flash**, so day-to-day work needs no programming
107
+ at all: load an image over UART and run it.
108
+
109
+ ---
110
+
111
+ ## Install
112
+
113
+ **The command is `mak`. The distribution is `mak-ide`** — `mak` on PyPI is an
114
+ unrelated package, and a console script's name is independent of the
115
+ distribution that installs it.
116
+
117
+ **Not published yet.** `.github/workflows/release.yaml` builds, checks and
118
+ installs the wheel on every push, and uploads only from a manual run with the
119
+ word `publish` typed into it. Until that is fired, the four commands below
120
+ will not resolve; the two after them work today from a clone.
121
+
122
+ ### Once it is published
123
+
124
+ ```bash
125
+ uv tool install mak-ide # recommended: isolated, one command on PATH
126
+ pipx install mak-ide # the same thing, if you already use pipx
127
+ pip install mak-ide # only inside a virtualenv you already manage
128
+ ```
129
+
130
+ macOS and Linux, in one line:
131
+
132
+ ```bash
133
+ curl -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Manikanta25055/MAK8u/mak-ide/tools/maku-tui/install.sh | sh
134
+ ```
135
+
136
+ Windows PowerShell:
137
+
138
+ ```powershell
139
+ irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Manikanta25055/MAK8u/mak-ide/tools/maku-tui/install.ps1 | iex
140
+ ```
141
+
142
+ Both scripts find `uv` or install it, run `uv tool install mak-ide`, and tell
143
+ you if the directory they installed into is not on your `PATH` — rather than
144
+ leaving you with a command that "did not install". Neither needs `sudo` or
145
+ administrator rights. `uv tool uninstall mak-ide` undoes either.
146
+
147
+ **The one-liners fetch from a URL, and this repository is private.** They
148
+ return 404 for anyone who cannot read it, including you on a machine without
149
+ credentials, until the repository is public.
150
+
151
+ **The URLs name the `mak-ide` branch, not `main`,** because that is where
152
+ `install.sh` and `install.ps1` actually are — the default branch has no
153
+ `tools/` directory yet. They move to `main` when that branch merges.
154
+
155
+ `mak --version` says which one you have. `mak --doctor` says why it will not
156
+ start.
157
+
158
+ ### From a clone, today
159
+
160
+ Pick the path that matches what you are doing — they give you two different
161
+ things and the difference is the point.
162
+
163
+ ### To use it
164
+
165
+ ```bash
166
+ uv tool install ./tools/maku-tui
167
+ ```
168
+
169
+ or, equivalently:
170
+
171
+ ```bash
172
+ pipx install ./tools/maku-tui
173
+ ```
174
+
175
+ Either one puts **`mak`** on your `PATH` — one command, not three. Both were
176
+ verified on this checkout — `uv` on Python 3.13, `pipx` on 3.14. This is an ordinary
177
+ wheel install: **source edits need a reinstall**, which is what installing
178
+ means. The NIM assistant is an extra and is left out unless you ask:
179
+
180
+ ```bash
181
+ uv tool install "./tools/maku-tui[assistant]"
182
+ ```
183
+
184
+ ### To work on it
185
+
186
+ ```bash
187
+ cd tools/maku-tui && python3 -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -e .
188
+ ln -s "$PWD/bin/mak" ~/.local/bin/mak
189
+ ```
190
+
191
+ `bin/mak` is a shell script, not a generated console entry point, and it
192
+ resolves through however many symlinks put it on `PATH` back to this checkout
193
+ and its virtualenv. So **a source edit is live the next time `mak` starts**,
194
+ and there is nothing to reinstall. That is why the developer path exists at
195
+ all.
196
+
197
+ `mak` runs in whatever directory you start it from and finds that project's
198
+ `maku.toml` by searching upward, the way `git` finds a repository.
199
+
200
+ ### If `mak` will not start
201
+
202
+ ```bash
203
+ mak --doctor
204
+ ```
205
+
206
+ It works on both installs and reports which one it is looking at; `mak --where`
207
+ prints the checkout, or the installed package when there is no checkout.
208
+
209
+ On **this** tree the usual cause is not a broken package. Every `.pth` file in
210
+ a venv under `~/Desktop` acquires the macOS `UF_HIDDEN` flag, and Python 3.13
211
+ **skips hidden `.pth` files** — so an editable install that `pip` reports as
212
+ installed is inert, and the symptom is `No module named maku_tui`. `chflags
213
+ nohidden` works and does not hold. The fix that holds is a symlink from
214
+ site-packages into `src/`, and `--doctor` prints it. Nothing outside that
215
+ situation needs the symlink, and the doctor says so rather than reporting a
216
+ fault.
217
+
218
+ ---
219
+
220
+ ## Using it
221
+
222
+ **There are no keyboard shortcuts, and that is deliberate.** There were
223
+ twenty-one. Ctrl bindings needed a modifier some terminals do not deliver,
224
+ F-keys carried actions nobody could discover, and one of them — `ctrl+i` —
225
+ could never fire at all, because 0x09 *is* the tab character. That binding
226
+ validated, appeared in the key bar and in the palette, and did nothing, for as
227
+ long as it existed. Automated tests could not see it either: a pilot presses
228
+ keys by name, so a binding no terminal can send passes every one of them.
229
+
230
+ Nine keys remain, and all nine are navigation:
231
+
232
+ | key | does |
233
+ |---|---|
234
+ | `/` | open the command line — every action is here, by name |
235
+ | arrows | move between sections, or move the caret inside the editor |
236
+ | `tab` / `shift+tab` | next / previous section, in reading order |
237
+ | `enter` | activate what has focus — open a file, enter edit mode, answer a question |
238
+ | `esc` | close what is open, one layer at a time: a question, the command line, edit mode |
239
+
240
+ Anything else is typed on the command line. `/` on its own lists every command
241
+ this project has, including one per `read_*_hw.py` on disk, and an argument is
242
+ completed from the kind it declares — `/load ` offers `.mem` images and nothing
243
+ else. **An argument that does not resolve is refused with a reason and your
244
+ text is kept**, never rounded to the nearest plausible file.
245
+
246
+ A few worth knowing:
247
+
248
+ | command | does |
249
+ |---|---|
250
+ | `/open` `/save` `/build` `/load` | the working loop |
251
+ | `/new` `/newfolder` `/rename` `/delete` | files; `/delete` asks first |
252
+ | `/key` | store the NVIDIA NIM key for the assistant, in a masked field |
253
+ | `/witness` `/self-boot` | read the boot witness; run the regression |
254
+ | `/focus` `/work` `/bench` | the three layouts |
255
+
256
+ ### The mouse
257
+
258
+ Click to focus a pane; click a line in the editor to put the caret there;
259
+ click a folder in the explorer to open or shut it. The wheel scrolls whatever
260
+ is under the pointer, not whatever had focus last. While a question is open it
261
+ owns the pointer as well as the keyboard — a click outside the box does not
262
+ focus what is behind it.
263
+
264
+ ### The key is never echoed
265
+
266
+ `/key` opens a field that is drawn as dots. The characters never enter the
267
+ drawing path at all, so the masking is not an overlay a redraw could get
268
+ wrong. The key is written to `~/.config/maku/credentials.toml` at mode 0600 in
269
+ a 0700 directory, with the mode set as the file is created rather than
270
+ tightened afterwards, and it is **never** written to `maku.toml`, which is
271
+ committed. `/key clear` removes it.
272
+
273
+ ---
274
+
275
+ ## Testing
276
+
277
+ ```bash
278
+ tools/maku-tui/.venv/bin/python tools/maku-tui/tests/run_all.py
279
+ ```
280
+
281
+ One `PASS`/`FAIL` per file and a single `RESULT:` line. A suite with no
282
+ `RESULT:` line reads as unverified, and this one has none such. A check that
283
+ cannot be *built* on the platform it is running on — there is one, and it needs
284
+ the macOS hidden-flag — reports `SKIP` with its reason, and `run_all.py` lifts
285
+ those lines into its own output so a check cannot stop running quietly.
286
+
287
+ `.github/workflows/maku-tui.yml` runs all of it on macOS and Linux, on Python
288
+ 3.11 and 3.13. Linux is there for a reason rather than for symmetry: the
289
+ hidden-`.pth` failure this tool works around is a macOS behaviour, so Linux is
290
+ where a check that quietly depends on the workaround shows up.
291
+
292
+ Three gates are not in `run_all.py`. Two need the board —
293
+ `gate_eight_images.py` and `gate_witness.py` — and one needs a real terminal:
294
+
295
+ ```bash
296
+ tools/maku-tui/.venv/bin/python tools/maku-tui/tests/gate_pty.py
297
+ ```
298
+
299
+ `gate_pty.py` forks a pseudo-terminal and sends **bytes**. Textual's test
300
+ pilot presses keys *by name*, which is why `ctrl+i` survived a suite that was
301
+ green — no terminal can send it, and a pilot does not have to. It is also why a
302
+ key that was handled twice, once by the router and once by its binding, passed
303
+ everything: no test asked what happens when the bytes for `/` arrive while the
304
+ command line is open. The answer was that the line re-opened at that character,
305
+ so **no path argument could be typed at all**. The gate asserts what is on the
306
+ wire, including the one property that is only meaningful there: the NIM key
307
+ never appears in the byte stream.
