retro-bionic (tgtakaoka)FirmwareConfidence: Medium

The 6502 boards in use are rev 10. Firmware for rev 11 "drives the wrong pins on them, and no rev 11 board has been built yet." The PR rolls the debugger and docs back to rev 10, keeps the rev 11 schematics and Gerbers, and parks the rev 11 firmware on a branch until a board is benched.
