Fun fact, your computer doesn't have USB ports (USB is a protocol, not a connector).
Funner fact, even if your computer has USB-C receptacles it might not be using any type of USB as protocol for a specific connection.
Funnest fact, there's at least a dozen different types of cables that use USB-C plugs with various capabilities, sometimes mutually incompatible and often silently falling back to slower protocols.

It's totally normal to refer to oscilloscope protocol decoder source code when implementing a protocol right?
This is what happens when you've written a PCIe protocol decoder before having implemented PCIe.
I had boosted that post a year ago and just received a notification by Mastodon that it has been updated. That's a really underrated feature of the ActivityPub protocol.
The author has updated the year -- it's been 40 years now!

I think this is progress.
I fixed the typoed atu_unr_limit and now the ATU is working, translating accesses to the 0x1000_0000 AXI space to configuration reads and writes in the PCIe bus.
But the data is always zero. I'm trying to write 0x41410000 to the BAR and it comes out as zeroes, and while the protocol analyzer shows me successfully reading 1327:1c5c which is the VID/PID of my test SSD, it comes out as zero on the AXI side.
