Abstract
Examples disclosed herein provide mechanisms for controlling a sensor in a multiple System on Chip (SoC) environment that allows one of the multiple System on Chips to be selected as a host System on Chip. The host System on Chip may lock the sensor to apply setting updates only from the host System on Chip that has locked the sensor. This lock may be broadcast to all sensors over an embedded data channel sent to all System on Chips receiving the sensor data. In addition, a safety monitor may be included to detect if the host System on Chip is functioning properly so that another System on Chip may be selected as a new host System on Chip.
