Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include an electronic system with a power on reset (POR) circuit. The POR circuit includes first voltage detection circuitry to perform a first detection on a supply voltage and to output a first control signal in response to the first detection, second voltage detection circuitry to perform a second detection on the supply voltage and to output a second control signal in response to the second detection, and third voltage detection circuitry to perform a third detection on the supply voltage and to output at least one third control signal in response to the third detection. The POR circuit further has sequencing circuitry with a first input to receive the at least one third control signal and to output a reset signal in response to the at least one third control signal.

Abstract: An address space field is used in conjunction with a normal address field to allow indication of an address space for the particular address value. In one instance, one address space value is used to indicate the bypassing of the address translation used between address spaces. A different address space value is designated for conventional operation, where address translations are performed. Other address space values are used to designate different transformations of the address values or the data. This technique provides a simplified format for handling address values and the like between different devices having different address spaces, simplifying overall computer system design and operation.

Abstract: An architecture-specific web-based executable specification tool maintains specification information and metadata for chip and system on a chip (SoC) design. Metadata available in the development ecosystem may be leveraged to improve the specification-to-design process. A unified, integrated environment for subsystem creation, SoC integration, and SoC specification teams is presented using a tool that comprehends SoC constructs. A modern web-based framework (not stand-alone tool) provides collaboration capabilities and allows visual representation and manipulation of data. Connection fabrics (e.g., network on a chip (NoC)) and other project-specific infrastructure can be configured and synthesized on demand and brought in to the design using the common environment. Netlists and other connectivity data can be fed into automated RTL generation processes directly, or used as a reference for implementation design teams. Reports and automated software generation satisfy the needs of the design verification and software teams. Functional and performance testing feedback loops are also provided.

Abstract: In described examples, a system on a chip (SoC) and method for sending messages in the SoC include determining locations of initiator-side firewall block and receiver-side firewall block memories using respective pointers to the firewall block memories stored in a single, contiguous memory. Addresses of the pointers within the single memory depend on respective unique firewall identifiers of the firewall blocks. An exclusive security configuration controller uses the pointers to configure the firewall blocks over a security bus which is electrically isolated from a system bus. The system bus is used to send messages from sending functional blocks to receiving functional blocks. The initiator-side firewall block adds a message identifier to messages. The message identifier depends on the initiator-side firewall block's configuration settings. The receiver-side firewall block controls permission for the receiving functional block to access the message, depending on the message identifier and the receiver-side firewall block's configuration settings.

Abstract: The reset isolation mechanism describes an embedded safety island inside a system on a chip which reduces the overall system cost while achieving functional safety. The safety island ensures an orderly shutdown of all or part of the rest of the system on a chip without the possibility of a safety island hang due to incomplete transactions at the time of the reset.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for voltage monitoring and reset sequencing. One such system includes a voltage detector including multiple voltage level detectors to output multiple power OK signals, respectively; a trim adjustment circuit to output multiple trim values to the multiple voltage level detectors, respectively; and a sequencer circuit coupled to the trim adjustment circuit and the voltage detector. In response to receiving the power OK signals from the multiple voltage level detectors, the sequencer circuit controls output of a reset signal to a target voltage domain.

Abstract: A system on a chip (SoC) includes a first domain comprising a first processor configured to boot the SoC, and a first debug subsystem, a second domain comprising a second processor, the second domain configurable as either a safety domain or a general-purpose processing domain, and isolation circuitry between the first domain and the second domain. During boot-up of the SoC, the first processor provides code to the second domain which, when executed by the second processor, configures the second domain as either a safety domain or as a general-purpose processing domain.
