Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating, by an image sensor of a computing device, frame data comprising sub-frames of image pixel data. A first resource of the system-on-chip provides the frame data to a second resource of the system-on-chip. The frame data is provided to the second resource using a first data path included in the system-on-chip. The first resource provides a token to the second resource using a second data path included in the system-on-chip. A processor of the system-on-chip, uses the token to synchronize production of sub-frames of image pixel data provided by the first resource to the second resource and to synchronize consumption of the sub-frames of image pixel data received by the second resource from the elastic memory buffer.
