Lab Pack 9: NES to SB6141 Cousin Mapping (Week 9)

Produce the NES to SB6141 cousin-mapping diagram. The pedagogical artefact that connects this course to RE-101.


What you ship

  • A diagram (ASCII art or PNG) mapping NES PPU + APU register addresses to SB6141 DOCSIS register surfaces.
  • A one-page narrative explaining where the cousin-mapping holds and where it breaks down.
  • Citations: nesdev wiki, Altice, plus at least one SB6141 datasheet reference (instructor will point at the cohort archive).
  • Toolchain Diary entry for the diagramming tool you used.

Tools you use

  • SPK-101 classroom: NES debugger R7. Watch live memory-map activity in a real ROM.
  • A diagramming tool of your choice (the academy ships an ASCII-art template in worksheets/TEMPLATE-cousin-mapping.md).

Success criteria

  • The diagram is readable.
  • The narrative names at least three places where the mapping holds and at least one where it breaks down.
  • Your citations are real.

Time budget

Plan for two ninety-minute lab sessions plus two hours of independent build-out. Slower students should plan for one extra session.

Submission

Push to your student repo under con-101/labs/lab-9/. Include source, a one-paragraph README, and a screenshot or short clip of the artefact running.
