    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method for managing a memory within a system-on-a-chip including a processor, a memory and a firewall device, includes: generating, by the processor, a request to access the memory, where the request has a access permission level; controlling, by the firewall device, access to the at least one memory region of the memory as a function of the access permission level of the request and a respective access permission level associated with at least one memory region; and erasing, by the firewall device, the at least one memory regions when its respective access permission level is modified, where erasing comprises performing a hardware-implemented erasure.

    Abstract: In embodiments, a system includes a first and a second processing unit, a memory, and a firewall device. The first processing unit operates in a secure mode and generates memory access requests having a secure level. The second processing unit operates in a non-secure mode and generates memory access requests having a non-secure level. The memory includes a first memory area that can be shared between the first and second processing units. The firewall device includes a first firewall circuit with a first configuration authorizing access to the first memory area in the presence of a secure or non-secure level access request. The firewall circuit includes a second configuration prohibiting access to the first memory area in the presence of a secure level access request and authorizing access to the first memory area only in the presence of a non-secure level access request.

    Abstract: System on a chip, comprising several master pieces of equipment, several slave resources, an interconnection circuit capable of routing transactions between master pieces of equipment and slave resources, and a processing unit at least configured to allow a user of the system on a chip to implement within the system on a chip at least one configuration diagram of this system defined by a set of configuration pieces of information including at least one piece of identification information assigned to each master piece of equipment, The identification pieces of information are intended to be attached to all the transactions emitted by the corresponding master pieces of equipment, the set of configuration pieces of information not being used for addressing the slave resources receiving the transactions and being used to define an assignment of at least one piece of master equipment to at least some of the slave resources.

    Abstract: A method is provided for monitoring an execution of a selected program code portion stored in a memory address range between a start address and an end address. The method includes starting a timing when a program counter points to the start address of the selected program code portion. Current values of the program counter are compared with a set of target addresses specific to the selected program code portion including the end address of the selected program code portion. The timing is stopped when the program counter points to the end address of the selected program code portion. An error signal is generated in response to the timing duration being outside a nominal duration range specific to the selected program code portion.
