Not even a microprocessor will be affected. There simply isn’t enough EMF generated by EMP to create enough energy to harm anything that small. Inductance is the name of the game here and EMP just doesn’t provide enough energy to induce high enough currents in such short wires to do damage. Nearby Lightening bolts generate more force and we don’t all freak out about those and we recover just fine from those bolts that do strike things like power lines.

I think the most likely scenario is going to be voltage induced through the windings in the power supply transformers and possed on to the circuit boards from there.

“windings in the power supply transformers and possed on to the circuit boards from there.”

Not really possible. There is a lot more to it than merely being in the same space together, not to mention a lot of additional circuitry that prevents such a thing. EMP simply is not strong enought to induce EMF in a transformer.
