    Abstract: A system-on-chip (SoC) may be configured to enable a Multi-Chip Daisy Chain Topology using peripheral component interface express (PCIe). The SoC may include a processor, a local memory, a root complex operably connected to the processor and the local memory, and a multi-function endpoint controller. The root complex may obtain forwarding information to configure routing of transactions to one or more PCIe endpoint functions or to the local memory. The root complex may initialize, based on the forwarding information, access between a host and the one or more PCIe endpoint functions. The multi-function endpoint controller may obtain a descriptor and endpoint information to configure outbound portals for transactions to at least one remote host. The multi-function endpoint controller may establish a communication path between the host and a function out of a plurality of functions.

    Abstract: A hub that receives sensor data streams and then distributes the data streams to the various systems that use the sensor data. A demultiplexer (demux) receives the streams, filters out undesired streams and provides desired streams to the proper multiplexer (mux) or muxes of a series of muxes. Each mux combines received streams and provides an output stream to a respective formatter or output block. The formatter or output block is configured based on the destination of the mux output stream, such as an image signal processor, a processor, memory or external transmission. The output block reformats the received stream to a format appropriate for the recipient and then provides the reformatted stream to that recipient.

    Abstract: A configurable multi-function Peripheral Component Interchange Express (PCIe) endpoint controller, integrated in a system-on-chip (SoC), that exposes multiple functions of multiple processing subsystems (e.g., peripherals) to a host. The SoC may include a centralized transaction tunneling unit and a multi-function interrupt manager. The processing subsystems output data to the host via the centralized transaction tunneling unit, which translates addresses provided by the host to a local address of the SoC. Therefore, the centralized transaction tunneling unit enables those processing subsystems to consume addresses provided by the host without the need for software intervention and software-based translation. The SoC may also provide isolation between each function provided by the processing systems. The multi-function interrupt manager enables the endpoint controller to propagate interrupt messages received from the processing subsystems to the host.

    Abstract: A reconfigurable image processing pipeline includes an image signal processor (ISP), a control processor, and a local memory. ISP processes raw pixel data for a frame based on an image processing parameter and provides lines of processed pixel data to control processor via a first interface. For each region of interest (ROI) in the frame, ISP generates auto-exposure and auto-white balance (2A) statistics based on the lines for the ROI and writes them to the local memory via a second interface. Control processor reads 2A statistics from the local memory, determines the image processing parameter based on them, and provides the image processing parameter to ISP. ISP also generates an integer N bin histogram for control processor, which sums a portion of the N total bins and compares the summed bin count to a lighting transition threshold. The image processing parameter is further based on the comparison.
