Abstract
A system on a chip (SoC) for providing safety hardware fault tolerance and/or safety software fault tolerance includes a first safety sub-system having a first safety channel; a second safety sub-system having a second safety channel; and a third sub-system. The first safety sub-system is independent of the second safety sub-system to allow the second safety sub-system to communicate through the second safety channel when the first safety sub-system or the third subsystem fails, and further to allow the first safety sub-system to communicate through the first safety channel when the second safety sub-system or the third subsystem fails.
