From the project

This folder ingests the owner-supplied LightRail AI Gen3 NCE Datasheet Rev 3.0 (LightRailGen3NCEDatasheetRev3.0.pdf, "Production Release for Seeed Studio Fusion PCBA") as the authoritative electrical design source — the thing the repo had been missing.

The datasheet describes a real, buildable board (LR-P3A Rev 6.3) with complete real data — and it is a different board than the repo's TFLNAINODEX2. Critically, it places the NCE ASIC + HBM stacks inside the co-packaged (CPO) module on a silicon interposer, so the board-level NCE/HBM…
