摘要： An embedded controller includes a microcontroller core and memory control circuitry. The memory control circuitry is configured to communicate with a Central Processing Unit (CPU) chipset over a first Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), for which bus arbitration is not supported, at a first clock rate, to communicate with a memory over a second SPI at a second, fixed clock rate, to relay memory transactions between the CPU chipset and the memory over the first and second SPIs, to identify time intervals in which no memory transactions are relayed on the second SPI and to retrieve from the memory information for operating the microcontroller core during the identified time intervals.

摘要： An embedded controller includes a microcontroller core, a first bus interface that does not support bus arbitration, a second bus interface and memory control circuitry. The first bus interface is configured to receive and transmit memory transactions from and to a Central Processing Unit (CPU) chipset. The second bus interface is configured to communicate with a memory and to transfer the memory transactions of the CPU chipset to and from the memory. The memory control circuitry is configured to evaluate a starvation condition that identifies an inability of the microcontroller core to access the memory via the second bus interface due to the memory transactions transferred between the CPU chipset and the memory via the first and second bus interfaces, and to invoke a predefined corrective action when the starvation condition is met.

摘要： A frequency monitor circuit (FMC) that is part of an integrated circuit chip for monitoring the frequency of one or more clocks present on the chip is disclosed. The FMC includes a reference window generator, operative to output a reference window signal of a given duration, and a clock counter, operative to count all pulses, in any one of the clocks, that occur within the duration of the reference window and to output a corresponding pulse count. The FMC further includes two or more comparators, each operative to compare the pulse count with a respective given threshold value and to output a corresponding indication of frequency deviation. In one configuration, in which the clock is generated on the chip by a frequency multiplier, the reference window generator and the clock counter are shared between the frequency monitor circuit and the frequency multiplier.

摘要： Various embodiments of the present invention are related to incident tracking systems and methods. A method allows for receiving input that specifies an incident at a facility, defining a search area adjacent to a position of the incident, and displaying one or more other incidents that occurred at the facility within the search area. A further method allows for dynamically plotting, each time a search area is changed on a map of a facility and an associated date range is indicated, positions on the map within the search area so as to indicate where incidents have occurred at the facility within the date range. Another method allows for receiving input that specifies a name of a person associated with an incident at a facility, and automatically flagging the person as being of interest if the person has been involved in one or more other incidents at the facility.
