Abstract
A system includes a non-programmable bus master. The non-programmable bus master includes a memory protection unit (MPU) to operate in a first configuration with a first set of access permissions and a second configuration with a second set of access permissions, and hardware logic. The hardware logic executes a first task and a second task. The tasks generate transactions and the hardware logic switches between executing the first and second tasks. The hardware logic also causes the MPU to operate in the first configuration when the hardware logic executes the first task and causes the MPU to operate in the second configuration when the hardware logic executes the second task.
