A context switching system includes a processor and a scheduler. The processor is configured to execute a first thread. A first context associated with the first thread is stored in a register set of the processor. While the first thread is being executed, the scheduler is configured to select a second thread from a set of threads, and receive and store a second context associated with the second thread in a register set of the scheduler. The second thread is to be scheduled for execution after the first thread. The scheduler is further configured to swap the first and second contexts when the execution of the first thread is halted, thereby executing the context switching. Further, the processor is configured to execute the second thread based on the second context. While the second thread is being executed, the first context is stored in the data memory.

An address fault detection system includes write and read access circuits and a fault management circuit. The write access circuit receives an address and reference data for a write operation associated with a memory and parity data generated based on the reference data, and writes the reference data and the parity data to first and second memory blocks of the memory, respectively. The read access circuit receives the same address for a read operation associated with the memory and reads another reference data and another parity data from the first and second memory blocks, respectively. The fault management circuit compares the read parity data with parity data generated based on the read reference data to detect an address fault in the memory. The written and read reference data are different when the address fault is detected, and same when the address fault is not detected.

A transaction management system includes a storage circuit and a processing circuit. The storage circuit stores a current tag value of a tag ID of a device and a tag value associated with a transaction initiated by the device. The processing circuit receives a reset query to determine an availability of the device for reset. When the device is to be reset, the current tag value of the tag ID is updated. Further, the processing circuit generates an acknowledgment in response to the reset query such that the device is reset based on the acknowledgment. The updated tag ID ensures that responses for transactions that are initiated by the device before the reset are discarded.

A radar and/or camera system may include a receiver subsystem that receives image and/or radar data from one or more imaging/radar subsystems via multiple data lanes. A vision processor of the system may receive a data stream that includes the image and/or radar data and one or more synchronization signals including a vertical sync signal. The receiver subsystem may include a timing event generator that toggles the vertical sync signal in response to detecting certain timing event errors in order to correct these timing event errors without interrupting normal operation of the system. The receiver subsystem may include sync monitoring circuitry that may detect synchronization errors that occur when synchronization signal pulses received by the receiver subsystem do not match a predefined synchronization pattern within a scan window of predefined length. The system may be reset in response to detection of such synchronization errors.

A system and method for real-time data transfer on a system-on-chip (SoC) allows MIPI-CSI (camera serial interface) data received on a first interface to be output on another MIPI-CSI interface without using system memory or delaying the loopback path. The system includes a CSI receiver, a loopback buffer, and a CSI transmitter. The loopback buffer is used for the data transfer between the CSI receiver and the CSI transmitter. The CSI transmitter receives a payload included in a data packet from the CSI receiver by way of the loopback buffer. The CSI receiver communicates a packet header of the data packet to the CSI transmitter. The CSI transmitter reads the payload from the loopback buffer based on the packet header and at least one of a buffer threshold capacity and payload size.
