    Abstract: System, method, and circuitry for generating content for a programmable computing device based on user-selected memory regions. Contiguous regions that share memory access attributes are merged, interleaved contiguous regions that share at least one nested attribute are defined into combined regions, and remaining regions are defined as separate independent regions. A memory protection unit (MPU) region size closest to a size of each defined region is identified. If the start address of each region aligns with the address structure of the MPU region size, then those regions are assigned to MPU regions having the MPU region size; otherwise, another MPU size that aligns with the size of the regions is selected and those regions are assigned to MPU regions having that size. Content is generated to configure settings of MPU regions of the programmable computing device for the merged contiguous regions, the combined region, and the independent regions.

    Abstract: A system on chip includes a non-volatile memory and a processor configured to execute an operating system which receives data according to a first communication protocol and program installation software that communicates with the non-volatile memory according to a second communication protocol. The operating system functions to: determine whether data received according to the first communication protocol is program data, make the program data available to the installation software, and inform the installation software that program data has been received. The installation software then stores the program data in the non-volatile memory.

    Abstract: In an embodiment a current limiting circuit includes a circuit configured to detect when an input or output current of a DC to DC converter exceeds or falls below a threshold and a controller configured to store a first value representative of a level of an output voltage of the DC to DC converter in response to the input or output current exceeding or falling below a first threshold, store a second value representative of the level of the output voltage in response to the input or output current falling below a further threshold and modify a control signal based on the first and second values, wherein the control signal is modified based on the first and second values so that the control signal brings the output voltage to an intermediate voltage level between the level of the output voltage represented by the first value and the level of the output voltage represented by the second value.
