re:trace Bayesian Probe Advisor — Top 5 Probe Recommendations ================================================================= Board: CISCO ASA5506-X V05 Timestamp: 2026-05-01T01:11:38Z Ranked by Expected Information Gain (EIG, bits): #1 U1.DDR3_DQ0 Location : (550, 410) px EIG : 4.8074 bits Rationale: EIG=4.807 bits; most likely net: VCC_CORE (3.6%). Probing U1.DDR3_DQ0 will resolve ~4.81 bits of uncertainty. #2 U1.DDR3_A0 Location : (550, 410) px EIG : 4.8074 bits Rationale: EIG=4.807 bits; most likely net: VCC_CORE (3.6%). Probing U1.DDR3_A0 will resolve ~4.81 bits of uncertainty. #3 U1.PCIE_TX0 Location : (550, 410) px EIG : 4.8074 bits Rationale: EIG=4.807 bits; most likely net: VCC_CORE (3.6%). Probing U1.PCIE_TX0 will resolve ~4.81 bits of uncertainty. #4 U1.PCIE_RX0 Location : (550, 410) px EIG : 4.8074 bits Rationale: EIG=4.807 bits; most likely net: VCC_CORE (3.6%). Probing U1.PCIE_RX0 will resolve ~4.81 bits of uncertainty. #5 U1.SATA_TX Location : (550, 410) px EIG : 4.8074 bits Rationale: EIG=4.807 bits; most likely net: VCC_CORE (3.6%). Probing U1.SATA_TX will resolve ~4.81 bits of uncertainty. Methodology ----------- The ProbeAdvisor maintains a Dirichlet belief distribution over possible net labels for each unknown node. Expected Information Gain (EIG) is approximated as H(prior) minus expected posterior entropy after observing a measurement — equivalent to mutual information I(net_label ; measurement). Pin-name priors boost probability for power (VCC/VDD) and ground (GND/VSS) nets before any measurements are taken.
