Abstract:
A CPU needs to perform reset operation when a secondary arithmetic processing unit controlled by the CPU controls a signal processing circuit. CPU A controls module A. CPU B controls module B. Module A and module B control a signal processing circuit. CPU A and CPU B issue a reset request to the signal processing circuit. The signal processing circuit performs a reset process based on the reset request accepted from the CPU and a control origin identification signal that identifies a CPU as an origin of controlling the module having started a signal processing section.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to detect a failure of a camera input in a system including a camera or a video transmission path (camera input). An image processor includes a hash derivation circuit having a computing unit that calculates hash values on an input screen and a storage circuit that stores the hash values. The image processor compares the hash values between multiple frames so as to decide whether the screens have changed or stopped. A failure is detected when the screens are stopped.
Abstract:
In an image processing device, a motion image decoding processing unit extracts a feature amount of a target image to be decoded from an input stream, and changes a read size of a cache fill from an external memory to a cache memory, based on the feature amount. The feature amount represents an intra macro block ratio in, for example, one picture (frames or fields), or a motion vector variation. When the intra macro block ratio is high, the read size of the cache fill is decreased.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to reduce deterioration in parallel processing capability. In a moving-picture decoding processing apparatus, information of a first plurality of frames and a second plurality of frames is supplied from a decoding control unit to first and second decoding processing units. For decoding the information from an intermediate point to an end point of a second preceding frame by the second decoding unit in a third period, use of a result of the process of the first decoding processing unit in the third period is inhibited, and use of a result of the process of a first preceding frame by the first decoding processing unit in a second period is permitted by an end signal. By reach of the intermediate point of the decoding of the second preceding frame by the second decoding processing unit in the second period, information from the start point to the intermediate point of the first subsequent frame included in the plural frames is decoded by the first decoding unit in the third period.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device restricts an OS capable of using a functional block by an OS identifier written in an attribute register for restricting an accessible OS, and creates operation setting values of a first input unit, a second input unit, and a screen synthesis unit per OS to describe them in a setting value list stored in a shared memory, and each of the first input unit, second input unit, and screen synthesis unit has a mask circuit that refers to the OS identifier of the attribute register and in which write of the operation setting values into the setting register group of an own block is hampered, the operation setting values being described in the setting value list created by an OS other than the OS having a use authority for the own block.
Abstract:
In a data processing device comprising a memory controller controlling writing/reading of data to/from the memory, a processor requesting writing/reading of data, and an error detection module requesting writing/reading of data to/from the memory controller in accordance with a request from the processor, an error detection module calculates a first error detection code of the first data having a write request from the processor, reads the second data having a read request from the processor from the memory, calculates a second error detection code from the read data, compares the first error detection code and the second error detection code, and transmits the result of the comparison to the external module.

Abstract:
A display area can be smoothly moved.A semiconductor device sequentially receives a plurality of whole images, each of which includes a plurality of small screen images and which are temporally continuous and form a moving image, and decodes a received whole image. Here, the semiconductor device includes a reception unit that receives the whole image including the small screen images, a determination unit that determines a decoding area which includes a small screen image to be decoded and which is included in the whole image, and a decoding unit that decodes the small screen image in the decoding area which is determined by the determination unit and which is included in the whole image. The determination unit determines a new decoding area when a small screen image of intra frame appears in the decoding area.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a plurality of IP cores, a plurality of storage devices, a configuration information acquiring unit that acquires configuration information for specifying a timing when the IP core accesses the storage device, and an allocation determining unit that determines the storage device allocated to the IP core. The configuration information acquiring unit acquires configuration information regarding a first IP core and configuration information regarding a second IP core. The allocation determining unit determines, based on the configuration information, whether an access timing by the first IP core is the same as an access timing by the second IP core, and when it is determined that the access timings are the same, determines allocation in such a way that the storage device allocated to the first IP core becomes different from the storage device allocated to the second IP core.
