An apparatus may include a processor. The apparatus may include a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The apparatus may include a memory control circuit (MCC). The MCC may be configured to define a protected portion of the memory, wherein the protected portion of the memory is configured for read-only access by the processor, increase a size of the protected portion of the memory, and, after the increase in size of the protected portion of the memory, prevent decreases of the size of the protected portion of the memory.

System with increasing protected storage area and erase protection

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a microcontroller configured to cool an electronic device. The microcontroller is configured to receive a power consumption value of the electronic device, determine, based on the power consumption value and a stored previous power consumption value, a change value representing an amount that power consumption of the electronic device changed from a previous power consumption of the electronic device, determine an output cooling control value based at least in part on the change value, and control an output for cooling the electronic device using the output cooling control value.
