    摘要: An example processing system includes a processing circuit, a volatile memory and a CAN communication controller circuit. The CAN communication controller circuit includes configuration and status registers. A transmission handler circuit and a reception handler circuit transmits and receives data via the CAN core circuit by exchanging data with the volatile memory based on the configuration data stored to the configuration and status registers, and filter elements stored to the volatile memory. Specifically, the processing system further includes a hardware host circuit comprising a non-volatile memory configured to store first configuration data (CD1) and second configuration data (CD2). The CD1 includes configuration data to be transferred to the configuration and status registers of the CAN communication controller circuit and the CD2 includes at least one filter element to be transferred to the volatile memory. A control circuit manages an initialization mode, a reception mode and a transmission mode. During the initialization mode, the hardware host circuit stores the CD1 to the configuration and status registers and the CD2 to the volatile memory.

    摘要: A communication interface couples a transmission circuit with an interconnection network. The transmission circuit requests transmission of a predetermined amount of data. The communication interface receives data segments from the transmission circuit, stores the data segments in a memory, and verifies whether the memory contains the predetermined amount of data. When the memory contains the predetermined amount of data, the communication interface starts transmission of the data stored in the memory. Alternatively, when the memory contains an amount of data less than the predetermined amount of data, the communication interface determines a parameter that identifies the time that has elapsed since the transmission request or the first datum was received from the aforesaid transmission circuit, and verifies whether the time elapsed exceeds a time threshold. In the case where the time elapsed exceeds the time threshold, the communication interface starts transmission of the data stored in the memory.

    摘要: In an embodiment, access transactions of at least one module of a system such as a System-on-Chip (SoC) to one of a plurality of target modules, such as memories, are managed by assigning transactions identifiers subjected to a consistency check. If an input identifier to the check has already been issued for the same given target module, to the related identifier/given target module pair the same input identifier is assigned as a consistent output identifier. If, on the contrary, said input identifier to the check has not been already issued or has already been issued for a target module different from the considered one, to the related identifier/given target module pair a new identifier, different from the input identifier, is assigned as a consistent output identifier.

    摘要: A system includes an intellectual property circuit; a general purpose input/output circuit coupled to the intellectual property circuit via a data path; and a switch coupled to the data path. The switch is activatable via a switch enable signal propagated on a switch enable path having a first end coupled to the intellectual property circuit and a second end coupled to the general purpose input/output circuit. The system further includes a secure link circuit coupled between the intellectual property circuit and the general purpose input/output circuit along the switch enable path. The secure link circuit is sensitive to security statuses of the intellectual property circuit and the general purpose input/output circuit, the secure link circuit being configured to admit propagation of the switch enable signal on the switch enable path in response to the intellectual property circuit and the general purpose input/output circuit having identical security statuses.

    摘要: A circuit includes a first node configured to receive a reset signal. A reset drive stage drives a reset node. The reset drive stage is coupled to the first node via a reset signal path to propagate the reset signal to the reset drive stage. The reset drive stage is activated as a result of assertion of a reset actuation state of the reset signal. A sensing node is coupled to the reset node via a signal sensing path. The sensing node is sensitive to a signal level of the reset node reaching a reset threshold. A reset signal hold circuit block is coupled to the first node and is configured to receive a reset command signal and assert the reset actuation state of the reset signal at the first node as a result of the reset command signal received.

    摘要: A communication system is arranged to interface a plurality of transmission circuits with an interconnection network. Each transmission circuit generates read requests and/or write requests. The communication system includes a first circuit that operates independently of the communication protocol of the interconnection network. In particular, the first circuit includes, a) for each transmission circuit a communication interface configured for receiving the read requests and/or write requests from the respective transmission circuit, b) a segmentation circuit configured for dividing, i.e., segmenting, the read requests and/or write requests received from the transmission circuits into transfer segments, and c) an interleaving circuit configured for generating, via an operation of interleaving of the transfer segments, a series of segments. The communication system also includes a second circuit configured for converting the transfer segments of the series of segments into data packets according to the protocol of the interconnection network and for transmitting the data packets to the interconnection network.
