Description

Changes to PlatformId serial number parsing or the programmatic API will have a significant chance of breaking simulation/emulation platforms. These platforrms should be tested with the changes before they are made. Ideally there would be a way to do this automatically, although I don't know how exactly. Over time we expect voxel to replace a4x2 and so we'd only have to test there.

Research direction

The issue names PlatformId serial-number parsing, the programmatic API, and the a4x2 and voxel simulation/emulation platforms, but no files or tests. Start by locating those entry points and any existing platform coverage. Done means changes are automatically checked against the relevant platforms, with voxel eventually serving as the primary coverage target.
