Information communication circuitry, including a first integrated circuit for coupling to a second integrated circuit in a package on package configuration. The first integrated circuit comprises processing circuitry for communicating information bits, and the information bits comprise data bits and error correction bits, where the error correction bits are for indicating whether data bits are received correctly. The second integrated circuit comprises a memory for receiving and storing at least some of the information bits. The information communication circuitry also includes interfacing circuitry for selectively communicating, along a number of conductors, between the package on package configuration. In a first instance, the interfacing circuitry selectively communicates only data bits along the number of conductors. In a second instance, the interfacing circuitry selectively communicates data bits along a first set of the number of conductors and error correction bits along a second set of the number of conductors.

Package on package memory interface and configuration with error code correction

A method for testing an imaging subsystem of a system-on-a-chip (SOC) is provided that includes executing imaging subsystem test software instructions periodically on a processor of the SOC, receiving reference image data in the imaging subsystem responsive to the executing of the test software instructions, performing image signal processing on the reference image data by the imaging subsystem to generate processed reference image data, and using the processed reference image data by the test software instructions to verify whether or not the imaging subsystem is operating correctly.

Ensuring imaging subsystem integrity in camera based safety systems

A multiprocessor device is provided that includes a plurality of processors in which each processor of the plurality of processors includes an interrupt controller, and a symmetric interrupt crossbar having a plurality of interrupt inputs in which each interrupt input that is not reserved is coupled to a respective interrupt output of an interrupt source of a plurality of interrupt sources, and a plurality of interrupt outputs in which each interrupt output is coupled to a respective interrupt input of an interrupt controller of one of the plurality of processors, in which the symmetric interrupt crossbar is programmable to map an interrupt signal from any interrupt source of the plurality of interrupt sources coupled to the symmetric interrupt crossbar to any interrupt input of any interrupt controller coupled to the symmetric interrupt crossbar.

Programmable interrupt routing in multiprocessor devices

A system includes first and second processing components, a qualified based splitter component, a first and second configurable cache element and an arbiter component. The first data processing component generates a first request for a first portion of data at a first location within a memory. The second data processing component generates a second request for a second portion of data at a second location within the memory. The qualifier based splitter component routes the first request and the second request based on a qualifier. The first configurable cache element enables or disables prefetching data within a first region of the memory. The second configurable cache element enables or disables prefetching data within a second region of the memory. The arbiter component routes the first request and the second request to the memory.
