w1n5t0n 5fc37f760e Stream 6: extract firmware glue under firmware/
Move the Arduino sketch into firmware/MEMLNaut-NISPS/ and bridge the
hardware (memllib) to the platform-agnostic nisps/ library through a
slim glue layer. Delete the legacy root-level *AudioApp.hpp,
modes/MEMLNautMode*.hpp, voicespaces/, IMLInterface.hpp, XiasriAnalysis,
and the src/memlp submodule.

Glue layout (firmware/MEMLNaut-NISPS/glue/):
  audio_driver.hpp - bridge memllib block callback to Mode::process
                     via per-Mode templated trampoline (no virtual dispatch)
  peripherals.hpp  - joystick/pots/buttons -> Mode::set_input + ML primitives
  midi_io.hpp      - MIDI in -> mode.note_on/update_bpm/set_playing,
                     drains mode ControlEvent ring -> MIDI UART
  mode_select.hpp  - using-aliases mapping MEMLNautMode<Name> to
                     nisps::modes::*Mode (build script rewrites the
                     #define MEMLNAUT_MODE_TYPE line)
  input_router.hpp / output_router.hpp - top-level wire/drain entry points

The sketch tree uses src/{memllib,daisysp,nisps} symlinks because
Arduino-CLI rejects ".." in include paths from sketch-tree headers.
mode_select.hpp #undefs Arduino's sq/min/max/abs/round macros before
including nisps headers (some nisps engines use those identifiers as
method names). The audio bridge struct is extern in the header and
defined in the .ino because inline + __not_in_flash section attribute
collide at link time.

Verification: arduino-cli compile succeeds for PAFSynth, ChannelStrip,
and BreakOr (rp2040:rp2040:solderparty_rp2350_stamp_xl:opt=Optimize3,
-std=gnu++20). Host C++ tests under nisps/build still pass (3 binaries,
110+ tests). Build script (scripts/build-firmware.sh) updated to point
at the new sketch path; mode-rewrite logic unchanged.

Closes meml-gkm.

firmware/ — Arduino sketch + hardware glue

Thin shell around nisps/. The platform-agnostic ML / DSP / engines / modes live there; this directory contains:

  • MEMLNaut-NISPS.ino — entry point. Picks one mode at compile time, hosts the dual-core lifecycle (Core 0: ML + UI, Core 1: audio + MIDI), and connects glue to mode.
  • glue/audio_driver.hpp — bridges memllib's AudioDriver block callback to Mode::process(stereosample_t). Templated trampoline so no virtual dispatch in audio path.
  • glue/peripherals.hpp — wires MEMLNaut joystick / pots / buttons to Mode::set_input(idx, value) and the ML primitives (draw_weights, move_weights, train, reset).
  • glue/midi_io.hpp — binds incoming MIDI to mode.note_on/note_off/update_bpm/set_playing (where supported); drains outgoing ControlEvents from the mode's ring buffer to the MIDI UART.
  • glue/input_router.hppwire_inputs() entry point, currently a thin re-export over peripherals. Will grow into a schema-aware router.
  • glue/output_router.hpp — drains engine events + mode events; called from loop1().
  • glue/mode_select.hpp — type aliases mapping MEMLNautMode<Name> identifiers to nisps::modes::<Name>Mode C++ types. Build script rewrites MEMLNAUT_MODE_TYPE between the alternatives.

Building

scripts/build-firmware.sh                # interactive variant prompt
scripts/build-firmware.sh PAFSynth       # build a specific variant
scripts/build-and-flash-firmware.sh      # build + flash via UF2

Target: rp2040:rp2040:solderparty_rp2350_stamp_xl:opt=Optimize3 with compiler.cpp.extra_flags=-std=gnu++20.

Include paths

Arduino-CLI compiles every *.cpp / *.hpp reachable from the sketch directory and from any submodule under src/. Headers under nisps/ are included via relative path (#include "../../nisps/..."). No -I flag injection needed.

src/memllib and src/daisysp are git submodules; the firmware-common.sh wrapper rejects builds when submodules drift from the recorded revision.

Verification

You cannot test on hardware from a sandbox. We verify three things:

  1. arduino-cli compile succeeds for at least three modes (PAFSynth, ChannelStrip, BreakOr).
  2. Host C++ tests in nisps/build still pass — the firmware refactor must not perturb the platform-agnostic library.
  3. git grep confirms no remaining references to deleted root-level files.

Removed

  • Root-level MEMLNaut-NISPS.ino, IMLInterface.hpp, *AudioApp.hpp, XiasriAnalysis.{cpp,hpp} — replaced by nisps/engines/* and firmware/MEMLNaut-NISPS.ino.
  • Root-level modes/MEMLNautMode*.hpp and modes/AudioApps/ — replaced by nisps/modes/* and the mode_select.hpp type aliases.
  • Root-level voicespaces/ — replaced by static voice space data inlined into engines (nisps/engines/paf_synth.hpp etc.).
  • src/memlp/ submodule — replaced by nisps/ml/.
