First step is an oscilloscope so you can actually look at what's happening on data lines.

I have one and the power supply lines (to the glitching CPU) seem stable with minimal noise. The CPU-integrated USB2 PHY also retains its connection even during the CPU glitch. A connected Linux workstation will not log any USB connection or disconnection events. And a CDC serial connection will remain open. The power levels to the stepper driver chips also remain stable during the glitch.

So to me, it looks like the glitching happens exclusively inside the CPU. It appears that I’m randomly experiencing the exact same issue that the PicoEMP in the original article can induce.
