Abstract: All pointer-based accesses require first that the value contained in a pointer register to be read and then that value be used as an address to the appropriate region in random access memory (RAM). As implemented today, this requires two memory read access cycles, each of which takes at least one clock cycle and therefore this implementation does not allow single cycle operation. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, when an access is performed to pointer memory to read the contents of a pointer, it is the shadow memory that is actually read and that returns the pointer value. Since the shadow memory is made up of pointer registers, a read access involves multiplexing out of appropriate data for the pointer address from these pointer registers to form a target pointer address. This target pointer address is then used as an address to access RAM without the overhead of a clock, since the register access is purely combinatorial and does not require clock-phase related timing as does access to the RAM.

Abstract translation: 所有基于指针的访问首先需要读取指针寄存器中包含的值，然后将该值用作随机存取存储器（RAM）中适当区域的地址。 如今所实现的，这需要两个存储器读取访问周期，每个存储器访问周期至少需要一个时钟周期，因此该实现不允许单周期操作。 根据本发明的实施例，当对指针存储器执行访问以读取指针的内容时，实际上是读取并且返回指针值的影子存储器。 由于阴影存储器由指针寄存器组成，所以读取访问涉及将来自这些指针寄存器的指针地址的适当数据进行复用以形成目标指针地址。 然后，该目标指针地址用作访问RAM的地址，而不需要时钟的开销，因为寄存器访问是纯组合的，并且不需要与访问RAM相关的时钟相关定时。

Abstract: A processing system supports memory access based on distinct memory space access instructions as well as universal access instructions that are independent of memory space partitions. Conventional memory-space dependent instructions, such as MOV, MOVX, and MOVC, provide an optimized addressing scheme, and an extended memory-space independent instruction EMOV provides an optimized code efficiency, processing speed, and ease of code generation. A mapping between the discrete memory space partitions and a “universal” memory space allocation is provided. The processing hardware interprets the universal address to determine the corresponding memory space, and provides the access to an address within that memory space.

Abstract: A secure removable card has electrical connections for communication therewith. The card comprises a first integrated circuit die, with the first die including a processor. The card has a second integrated circuit die, with the second die including a non-volatile memory for storing a secret key, and a controller for controlling the operation of the non-volatile memory. A bus connects the first die with the second die. The processor can generate a key pair, having a public key portion and a private key portion upon power up, and transfers the public key portion across the bus to the second die. The controller can receive the public key and encrypt the secret key with the public key to generate a first encrypted key, and can transfer the first encrypted key across the bus to the first die. The processor can receive the first encrypted key and can decrypt the first encrypted key to recover the secret key, and can encrypt data with the secret key for communicating along the electrical connections external to the card.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device has a processing unit, a memory management unit, and a memory. The memory management unit is interposed between the memory and the processing unit for controlling access to the memory by the processing unit in one of three modes. In a first mode, called the system mode, the processing unit can access a system program stored in the memory for controlling the resources of the integrated circuit device. In a second mode, called the kernel mode, the processing unit can access an operating system program stored in the memory for controlling the of the integrated circuit device, limited by the system program. Finally in a third mode, called the user mode, the processing unit can access an application program stored in the memory for controlling the resources of the integrated circuit device, limited by the operating system program. In another aspect of the invention, when the processing unit accesses either the operating system program or the application program (herein: “non-system program”), the execution of the non-system program can cause a system interrupt causing program execution to revert to the system mode, but to a specified entry address of the system program, wherein after processing the system interrupt, operation returns to the non-system program in either the kernel mode or the user mode.
