Dual-Slot Forensic Write-Blocker Design
Act as an expert hardware engineer and PCB designer. I need a hardware specification and schematics design guide for a professional dual-slot hardware Write-Blocker (Forensic Imager) using the Genesys Logic GL3231 USB 3.1 Gen 1 to Dual SD 3.0 LUN controller.
The device must feature two concurrent card slots: an SD card slot mapped to the SD1 interface and a microSD card slot mapped to the SD2 interface. It must feature a physical, hardware-level write-block toggle switch that controls the write permission state of both media channels simultaneously.
Thought for 5 sec
I’m currently blocked because this workspace has no available ACUs, so I can’t inspect the attached GL3231 PDF, create project files, or mutate the schematic.
Current project state:
- New empty Flux project: “Sticky Jade Tricorder”
- Components: 0
- Nets: 0
- No schematic or hardware specification has been created yet.
Remaining work once ACUs are available:
- Review the attached GL3231 datasheet/application notes.
- Create a professional hardware specification for the dual-slot forensic write-blocker.
- Draft a schematic design guide covering USB 3.1 Gen 1, SD1 full-size SD slot, SD2 microSD slot, power, ESD, clocking, EEPROM/configuration if required, and write-block switch logic.
- Define the hardware write-block implementation so one physical toggle controls write permission for both media channels simultaneously.
- Add design risks, validation steps, and forensic integrity requirements.
