Abstract: A processing system includes an error detection circuit configured to receive data bits and ECC bits, calculate further ECC bits as a function of the data bits, and generate a syndrome by comparing the calculated ECC bits with the received ECC bits. When the syndrome corresponds to one of N+K single bit-flip reference syndromes, the error detection circuit asserts a first error signal, and asserts one bit of a bit-flip signature corresponding to a single bit-flip error indicated by the respective single bit-flip reference syndrome.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a processing system comprises a microprocessor programmable via software instructions, a memory controller configured to be coupled to a memory, a communication system coupling the microprocessors to the memory controller, a cryptographic co-processor and a first communication interface. The processing system also comprises first and second configurable DMA channels. In a first configuration, the first DMA channel is configured to transfer data from the memory to the cryptographic co-processor, and the second DMA channel is configured to transfer the encrypted data via two loops from the cryptographic co-processor to the first communication interface. In a second configuration, the second DMA channel is configured to transfer received data via two loops from the first communication interface to the cryptographic co-processor, and the first DMA channel is configured to transfer the decrypted data from the cryptographic co-processor to the memory.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a hardware configuration circuit reads and decodes an encoded life-cycle data and provides the decoded life-cycle data to a hardware circuit. A reset circuit monitors an external reset signal received via a reset terminal and, in response to determining that the external reset signal has a first logic level, executes a reset, a configuration, and a wait phase. The reset circuit waits until the external reset signal has a second logic level. A communication interface is activated during the wait phase and configured to receive a request. A hardware verification circuit generates a life-cycle advancement request signal when the request includes a given reference password and a reset circuit is in the wait phase. A write circuit writes a bit of the encoded life-cycle data stored in a non-volatile memory when the life-cycle advancement request signal is set, advancing the life-cycle to a given predetermined life-cycle stage.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a processing system includes a non-volatile memory, a hardware block, a protection circuit associated with the hardware block, and a password verification circuit. The non-volatile memory stores at least one reference password. The password verification circuit is configured to receive a password verification command, obtain a reference password, and test whether the passwords correspond. In case the passwords correspond, the password verification circuit generate an overwrite signal. The protection circuit is configured to receive a control command and selectively forward the control command to the associated hardware block as a function of the overwrite signal.

Abstract: A processing system comprises a processing unit, a hardware block configured to change operation as a function of life cycle data, and a one-time programmable memory storing original life cycle data. A hardware configuration module is configured to read the original life cycle data from the one-time programmable memory, to store the original life cycle data in a register, to receive a write request from the processing unit, and to selectively execute the write request to overwrite the original life cycle data with new life cycle data in the register.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a processing system includes at least one hardware block configured to change operation as a function of configuration data, a non-volatile memory including the configuration data for the at least one hardware block, and a configuration module configured to read the configuration data from the non-volatile memory and provide the configuration data read from the non-volatile memory to the at least one hardware block. The configuration module is configured to: receive mode configuration data; read the configuration data from the non-volatile memory; test whether the configuration data contain errors by verifying whether the configuration data are corrupted and/or invalid; and activate a normal operation mode or an error operation mode based on whether the configuration data contain or do not contain errors.

Abstract: A hardware configuration circuit can sequentially read data packets from a non-volatile memory. For a first data packet, the circuit is configured to store the configuration data and the address included in the data packet in the register, select a target configuration data client circuit as a function of the address included in the first data packet, transmit a first data signal that includes the configuration data included in the first data packet to the target configuration data client circuit, receive a second data signal that includes configuration data stored in the target configuration data client circuit and the address associated with the target configuration data client circuit, and compare the configuration data and address received from the target configuration data client circuit with the configuration data and address stored in the register.

Abstract: A processing system includes a timer circuit and a processing circuit. The timer circuit is configured to generate a system time signal. The processing circuit is configured to receive the system time signal, detect whether the system time signal reaches or exceeds a given reference value, and start execution of a given processing operation in response to the detection. The timer circuit has associated an error code calculation circuit configured to compute a first set of error detection bits as a function of bits of the system time signal. The processing circuit has an associated error detection circuit configured to: compute a second set of error detection bits as a function of the bits of the system time signal received, compare the first set of error detection bits with the second set of error detection bits, and generate an error signal in response to the comparison.
