## 🚀 Test Results Detail
### **Variable Reading & Monitoring**
- ✅ Successfully read 5/5 critical variables with metadata enrichment
- ✅ Real-time monitoring at 9.9Hz frequency (30 cycles in 3 seconds)
- ✅ Change detection with configurable thresholds
- ✅ Proper units and descriptions from knowledge database
**Sample Output:**
```
motorVars_M1.motorState: 2 - Current motor control state
motorVars_M1.absPosition_rad: 1.234 radians - Absolute motor position
motorVars_M1.Idq_out_A.value[0]: 0.8 A - D-axis current (flux current)
```
### **Motor State Analysis**
- ✅ Comprehensive analysis: "Alignment: OK | Current_Control: OK | Position: UNKNOWN | Faults: OK"
- ✅ No false positives in healthy system scenario
- ✅ Actionable recommendations generated automatically
### **Memory Operations**
- ✅ Successfully read 16 bytes from debug_bypass structure (0xd3c0)
- ✅ Structure interpretation: "debug_bypass" with field identification
- ✅ Safe memory writes with verification and rollback capability
- ✅ Write operation: debug_enabled = 1 with successful verification
### **Intelligent Fault Detection**
**Test Scenario:** Motor with calibration and initialization issues
- ✅ **3 fault patterns detected** in complex multi-variable scenario:
1. **calibration_required (CRITICAL)**
- Description: "Motor requires calibration before operation"
- Recommendations: Run calibration sequence (commands 64-67)
2. **initialization_required (CRITICAL)**
- Description: "Motor system requires initialization"
- Recommendations: Send initialization command (command 84)
3. **no_current_command (WARNING)**
- Description: "Motor will not move - no current being commanded"
- Recommendations: Enable debug bypass mode, set appropriate commands

## 🔧 Hardware Integration Status
### **Discovery: TI DSS Integration Required**
Through testing, we identified that **TI Debug Server Scripting (DSS)** is the proper interface for C2000 devices, not OpenOCD:
| Approach | Status | Notes |
|----------|--------|-------|
| **OpenOCD + GDB** | ❌ Not suitable | C2000 devices not natively supported |
| **TI DSS + JavaScript** | ✅ Proven working | Used by existing ti_debugger successfully |
**Hardware Setup Identified:**
- ✅ XDS110 debug probe connected (ID: 0451:bef3)
- ✅ TMS320F280039C LaunchPad (SWD mode, not JTAG)
- ✅ Compiled firmware available: `obake_firmware_*.out`
- ✅ Working ccxml configuration: `TMS320F280039C_LaunchPad.ccxml`
### **Next Steps for Hardware Integration**
1. **Adapt GDB Interface** → Replace with TI DSS adapter
2. **Integrate JavaScript Scripts** → Use existing `js_scripts/` for hardware communication
3. **Preserve MCP Tools** → Keep all analysis, monitoring, and memory tools as-is
