Abstract: In an example, a method includes storing code for a first central processing unit (CPU) executing a first application in a first region of a memory, and storing code for a second CPU executing a second application in a second region of the memory. The method includes storing shared code for the first CPU and the second CPU in a third region of the memory. The method includes storing read-write data for the first CPU in a fourth region of the memory and storing read-write data for the second CPU in a fifth region of the memory. The method includes translating a first address from a first unique address space for the first CPU to a shared address space in the third region, and translating a second address from a second unique address space for the second CPU to the shared address space in the third region.

Abstract: An example device includes a first interface configured to couple to a first memory that is configured to store an image that includes a set of slices; a second interface configured to couple to a second memory; and a direct memory access circuit coupled to the first and second interfaces. The direct memory access circuit receives a transaction that specifies a read of a slice of the set of slices; and based on the transaction, reads the slice from the first memory; performs operations to the slice; and stores the slice in the second memory.

Abstract: A microcontroller is provided and comprises a central repository, a processing device, and a firewall. Rule repository memory in the central repository stores one or more access rules defining an access permission of a software context to one or more target resources of the microcontroller. The firewall receives a bus transaction initiated based on an instruction and determines whether any access rule stored in memory of the firewall defines the access permission of the software context to a destination resource. If no access rule stored in the firewall memory defines the access permission, the firewall communicates a miss query condition to the central repository. The central repository searches the rule repository memory for an access rule defining the access permission of the software context to the destination resource, and if a related access rule is found, the related access rule is stored in the firewall memory.

Abstract: Various examples disclosed herein relate to allocation of code and data of application software among memory of a microcontroller unit (MCU), and more particularly to allocating portions of the application software to random access memory or flash memory of an MCU based on information associated with of each portion of the application software. A method is provided herein that comprises instructing an MCU to execute an application software. The method further comprises obtaining information indicative of a performance of portions of the application software on the MCU and capacity requirements of the portions of the application software, and designating, based on the information, each of the portions of the application software for execution from either a first memory or a second memory when deployed to one or more MCUs.

Abstract: An electronic device may be configured to detect a fault in imaging and vision hardware accelerators. The electronic device may include a controller configured to select a first golden input frame of multiple golden input frames to perform a first self-test, and retrieve a first reference image signature corresponding to the first golden input frame. The electronic device may include a hardware accelerator module configured to obtain the first golden input frame, and generate a first output frame based on the first golden input frame. The electronic device may include a signature generator configured to generate a first generated image signature based on the first output frame. The electronic device may include a signature comparison module configured to compare the first generated image signature to the first reference image signature in order to determine whether the hardware accelerator module includes a fault at a first time.
