Disclosed are a system, apparatus, and method for calibrating an optical see-through display (OSD). The OSD virtual display size is estimated as a starting point for determining an eye to camera distance. In response to determining the eye to camera distance and comparing the result with a measured eye to camera distance an updated display size may be determined. A user's head movement may be tracked in order to determine when a visual alignment based calibration routine is complete. When a user is not viewing a calibration target a request is sent to prompt the user to realign the OSD. When a user is still after a period of alignment with the OSD, the alignment and calibration procedure may be assumed as complete. A buffer may receive calibration values from before and after the calibration procedure is complete and the values may be averaged or filtered for accuracy.

Monitoring logicfor monitoring a data processorto detect if it is not operating as anticipated, the monitoring logiccomprising: a timeroperable to measure a predetermined time; detection logic; and control logic; wherein said detection logic is operable to detect a data or instruction access to at least one predetermined address and in response to not detecting said data or instruction access within said predetermined time, said control logic is operable to send a control signal to said data processor, said control signal controlling said data processor to perform a predetermined operation.

Monitoring a data processor to detect abnormal operation

A data processing apparatus and method for generating constant values is provided. The data processing apparatus comprises a data processing unit operable in response to an instruction to perform a data processing operation on one or more data values. Shift logic is operable to selectively apply a shift operation to data to produce one of the data values for the data processing operation. Further, a plurality of registers are provided for storing data. The instruction has a register specifier field for identifying a register and a shift specifier field for specifying a shift to be applied to that register's data in order to produce one of the data values for the data processing operation. The register specifier field is allocatable a distinguished value, and if the register specifier field has that distinguished value, the shift logic is provided with a predetermined value and generates therefrom one of a plurality of constant values dependent on the shift specified by the shift specifier field, the generated constant value then being used as one of the data values for the data processing operation.
