+### Raspberry Pico NMI signal generator
+
+To generate the well-timed `NMI` signals, a Raspberry Pico is used. From a
+trigger signal from P1.4 to GP14, it will wait a specific amount of time, then
+lower GP15, which should be connected to NMI/#RST, for a few microseconds. This
+delay between the trigger and NMI is configured over a UART interface on P6.0
+and GP17. P1.5/GP16 is used as an "ack" signal from the Pico to the MSP430 to
+signal that the serial command has been received and processed. This is done to
+avoid having the MSP430 start sending a trigger signal before a new delay
+setting has been applied properly.
+
+Some other pins are used as handshaking: GP19 is connected to P3.2 to have the
+MSP430 wait until this pin is high to start tracing, which is needed because
+the NMI pin is also shared between the actual NMI signal, and the Spy-Bi-Wire
+debugging interface, which is used to upload new code. Using a switch to select
+which line (SBWTDIO or NMI/GP15) is connected to the NMI/#RESET pin, this can
+be mitigated. However, then P3.2 needs to be also pulled low for as long as the
+NMI/#RST pin is connected to SBWTDIO. For this, another switch can be used to
+have it toggle between GND and GP19/3V3.
+
+The Raspberry Pico code can be found in the `nmigen/` folder (not to be
+confused with the HDL language that had this name in the past).

 ## Proof of concept
 
 The code in `src/main.c` will dump the content of the BSL to `eUSCI_A0` in UART
