### Added
- tests for Regular and DW Conv2D with 3x3 kernel
- Neureka's engine-aware DW lowering pass `NeurekaNCHWtoNHWCDwConvPass`

- Fix GAP9 board tests with `--defaultMemLevel L3` reading garbage inputs: place all gapy `--flash-property` options before the positional subcommand and use `image flash run` so the readfs partition (input hex files) is flashed to the device
- Fix Deeploy 101 tutorial errors: `--profileTiling` usage and the moved intrinsics inventory path

- `--profileMicrobenchmark` silently emitted nothing on GAP9: the pass was absent from the GAP9 code transformers, `perf_utils.h` was neither included nor portable to the GAP9 SDK's counter names, and its core guard never matched GAP9's cluster controller
### Removed
- removed experimental `enable3x3` flag, from Neureka Engine. Now, 3x3 mode is enabled by default.
- `testDMA.py` was an old test; we now have `test_dmas.py` instead.

Keep Runtime: independent from per-layer counters.

perf_bench_init() resets the counters used by getCycles() before every operation. With --profileMicrobenchmark, Runtime: therefore does not represent the full network execution. Initialize the shared counters once per network, or use a separate timing source for getCycles().

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

In `@Deeploy/Targets/PULPOpen/CodeTransformationPasses/PULPMicrobenchmark.py`
around lines 15 - 18, Update the profiling flow around perf_bench_init(),
perf_bench_start(), and getCycles() so per-operation initialization does not
reset the counters used for the network-level Runtime measurement. Initialize
shared counters once per network or use a separate timing source for
getCycles(), while preserving per-layer benchmark measurements.
