know joker's wild on different things we thought about and there was a bunch of other electrical stuff that we did investigate around you know were we seeing power you know were we not ramping power correctly other things um you know could there be something where we're not draining enough while we're taking this a2 lap um you know and some of that were easy experiments to go to go run so we did did do some of them just to disprove that and um you know just the

Negative results actually are important.

Yeah, and I think that's actually a good point, because in this, you know, we talked about the software changes in the host, but we also looked at stuff in the service processor ring buffers, you know, FPGA register readbacks, we added and captured a bit more state along the way.

And the fact that we could kind of use that to rule out things, the fact that we can easily see what is the state of this ExtResetL pin is hugely helpful. Or the fact that if we had had to do something much more invasive, we could have communicated to the service processor over the communication channel.

And I think that is actually the ultimate part of Dogpatch, taking it back there, is these different things actually working together towards solving our problems versus... you know, fighting with one another and kind of hoarding information. And, you know, because we're doing all sides together, you know, some of the things in Dogpatch that we're saying, you know, it can only be the OS.

Well, that's actually a reflection of the fact that, you know, that's because that was the only thing we could actually modify. And the fact that we can modify not just the service processor, not just the... host software, but actually the board design itself gives us a lot of different flexibility in how we can approach different problems.

Yeah, let's hit that one in the bud.
