What is ext_offset?

I understand that the width is size of the glitch, and offset is a count of clock cycles from reset. At least I hope my understanding is correct. But what is ext_offset?

For context, I’m in fault101 section 1_2.

Hi,

ext_offset is a count of clock cycles from the trigger point. For example, having an ext_offset of 10 will insert a glitch roughly 10 clock cycles after the glitch is triggered.

offset is best thought of as moving the glitch back and forth within the clock cycle, meaning the highest and lowest values of offset will all affect the same clock cycle. In terms of glitching, I’d say offset typically behaves more like width, where it mostly affects whether or not you get a glitch, whereas ext_offset will affect which instruction on the target that you glitch.

So it’s 10 clock cycles instead of 10 ADC counts. Is that it?

Correct- the glitch module uses the target clock, not the ADC sampling clock.
