摘要: 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.

摘要: A processing system includes a plurality of configuration data clients; each associated with a respective address and including a respective register, a hardware block, a non-volatile memory, and a hardware configuration circuit. A respective configuration data client receives a respective first configuration data and stores it in the respective register. The hardware block is coupled to at least one of the configuration data clients and changes operation as a function of the respective first configuration data stored in the respective registers. The non-volatile memory includes second configuration data stored as data packets including the respective first configuration data and an attribute field identifying the respective address of one of the configuration data clients. The hardware configuration circuit sequentially reads the data packets from the non-volatile memory and transmits the respective first configuration data to the respective configuration data client.

摘要: A processing system is described. The processing system comprises a microprocessor, a memory controller, a resource and a communication system. The microprocessor is configured to send read requests in order to request the transmission of first data, or write requests comprising second data. The memory controller is configured to read third data from a memory. The processing system comprises also a safety monitor circuit comprising an error detection circuit configured to receive data bits and respective Error Correction Code, ECC, bits, wherein the data bits correspond to the first, second or third data. The safety monitor circuit calculates further ECC bits and generates an error signal by comparing the calculated ECC bits with the received ECC bits. A fault collection and error management circuit receives the error signal from the safety monitor circuits. For example the safety monitor circuit comprises a test circuit configured to provide modified data bits and/or modified ECC bits to the error detection circuit as a function of connectivity test control signals, whereby the error detection circuit asserts the error signal as a function of the connectivity test control signals. The processing system comprises also a connectivity test control circuit comprising control registers programmable via the microprocessor, wherein the connectivity test control signals are generated as a function of the content of the control registers.

摘要: A processing system includes safety monitoring circuits configured to generate error signals by monitoring a microprocessor operations, a memory controller, and/or a resource. The system further includes fault collection sub-circuits, each including one or more error combination circuits, each including a first programmable register and being configured to receive a subset of the error signals, determine whether an error signal is asserted, and store to the first register error status data that identifies the asserted error signal. Each error combination circuit is configured to read enable data from the first register and generate a combined error signal based on the error status and enable data. The error management circuit includes a second programmable register and is configured to receive the combined error signals, read routing data from the second register, and generate for each microprocessor an error signal based on the combined error signals and routing data.

摘要: A processing system includes a digital processing unit, one or more non-volatile memories configured to store a firmware to be executed by the digital processing unit, a diagnostic circuit configured to execute a self-test operation of the processing system in response to a diagnostic mode enable signal, and a reset circuit. The reset circuit is configured to perform a complex reset of the processing system by generating a first reset of the processing system in response to a given event and generating a second reset of the processing system once the self-test operation has been executed. The processing system is configured to set the diagnostic mode enable signal in response to the first reset, thereby activating execution of the self-test operation.
