Patent number: 7558944Abstract: A built-in memory is divided into the following two types: first memories 5 and 7 and second memories 4 and 6, and made accessible in parallel by third buses XAB and XDB and second buses YAB and YDB respectively. Thereby, a CPU core 2 can simultaneously transfer two data values from the built-in memory to a DSP engine 3. Moreover, the third buses XAB and XDB and the second buses YAB and YDB are also separate from first buses IAB and IDB to be externally interfaced and the CPU core 2 can access an external memory in parallel with the access to the second memories 4 and 6 and the first memories 5 and 7.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2008Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Renesas Technology Corp.Inventors: Hiroshi Ohsuga, Atsushi Kiuchi, Hironobu Hasegawa, Toru Baji, Koki Noguchi, Yasushi Akao, Shiro Baba

Patent number: 6209045Abstract: A data processor has a ROM that holds a boot program for causing the CPU to transfer a debug program from a serial interface circuit to a debug-use RAM area. When supplied externally with an SDI boot command, the serial interface circuit outputs an SDI interrupt request signal (SDI_boot) to an interrupt controller. The signal causes the CPU to execute the boot program. Debug operations are varied as per the contents of the downloaded debug program, and data exchanges upon debugging are carried out serially.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1999Date of Patent: March 27, 2001Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hironobu Hasegawa, Hiroyuki Sasaki, Masahiko Uraguchi

Patent number: 5534974Abstract: There is provided a printing apparatus in which a paper-supplying tray being used by one user is not allowed to be used by the other users. The printing apparatus is used by a plurality of users by means of bidirectional communication. One or more paper-supplying trays are provided in the printer. One of the paper-supplying trays is designated by one of the users so that the one of the paper-supplying trays is exclusively used by the one of the users. When the one of the paper-supplying trays currently being exclusively used is designated by another user, the fact that the designated one of the paper-supplying trays is occupied is notified to the another user.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1994Date of Patent: July 9, 1996Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventor: Hironobu Hasegawa
