    Abstract: An electronic eyewear device includes first and second systems-on-chip (SoCs) having independent time bases. The first and second SoCs are connected by a shared general purpose input/output (GPIO) connection and an inter-SoC interface. The first and second SoCs are synchronized to each other by the first SoC asserting the shared GPIO connection to the second SoC where assertion of the message to the shared GPIO connection triggers an interrupt request (IRQ) at the second SoC. The first SoC records a first timestamp for assertion of the message to the GPIO connection, and the second SoC records a second timestamp of receipt of the IRQ. The first SoC sends a message including the first timestamp to the second SoC over the inter-SoC interface. The second SoC calculates a clock offset between the first and second SoCs as a difference between the first and second timestamps.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for interrupt signaling for a memory device are described. A memory device may transmit an interrupt signal to a host device to alter a sequence of operations that would otherwise be executed by the host device. The memory device may transmit the interrupt signal in response to detecting an error condition at the memory device, a performance degradation at the memory device, or another trigger event. In some examples, the memory device may include a dedicated interrupt pin for transmitting interrupt signals. Alternatively, the memory device may transmit interrupt signals via a pin also sued to transmit error detection codes. For example, the memory device may transmit an interrupt signal before or after an error detection code or may invert the error detection code to indicate the interrupt, in which case the inverted error detection code may act as an interrupt signal.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses an interrupt controller, including: a sampling unit adapted to receive interrupts from various interrupt sources coupled to the interrupt controller and perform sampling on the received various interrupts; and a priority arbitration unit adapted to classify the received various interrupts into a plurality of interrupt segments, where each interrupt segment includes one or more sampled interrupts, and determine, segment by segment, an interrupt with the highest priority in a selected segment, until an interrupt with the highest priority among all interrupts is identified through arbitration and used as an to-be-responded-to interrupt. The present invention further discloses a processor including the interrupt controller, and a system-on-chip.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for stalling a host processor. In some embodiments, the host processor may be caused to initiate one or more selected transactions, wherein the one or more selected transactions comprise a data bus transaction. The host processor may be prevented from completing the data bus transaction, to thereby stall the host processor, wherein: the act of causing the host processor to initiate one or more selected transactions comprises asserting an interrupt to cause the host processor to load, from an interrupt vector address, one or more instructions of an interrupt handler corresponding to the interrupt; the one or more instructions, when executed by the host processor, cause the host processor to check for a cause of the interrupt; and the act of preventing the host processor from completing the data bus transaction comprises preventing the host processor from checking for a cause of the interrupt.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for routing interrupts on a coherency probe network are disclosed. A computing system includes a plurality of processing nodes, a coherency probe network, and one or more control units. The coherency probe network carries coherency probe messages between coherent agents. Interrupts that are detected by a control unit are converted into messages that are compatible with coherency probe messages and then routed to a target destination via the coherency probe network. Interrupts are generated with a first encoding while coherency probe messages have a second encoding. Cache subsystems determine whether a message received via the coherency probe network is an interrupt message or a coherency probe message based on an encoding embedded in the received message. Interrupt messages are routed to interrupt controller(s) while coherency probe messages are processed in accordance with a coherence probe action field embedded in the message.
