  • Patent number: 12689548
    Abstract: Methods and systems involving automotive computing architectures with phased wake sequences and power control are disclosed herein. A disclosed automotive computing system includes at least three subsystems: a first subsystem that is in an always-on power domain, a second subsystem that is powered on from a sleep state in response to an event detected by the first subsystem, and a third subsystem that is powered on, from an off state, after the first subsystem and the second subsystem are powered on. The subsystems of the architecture can be activated in different phases based on a given scenario in which the automotive computing architecture is operating. The same subsystem can occupy a different phase in different scenarios. The phased wake sequences may conserve power without sacrificing utility and may be optimized for different scenarios and triggering events.

  • Patent number: 12608209
    Abstract: A method is presented that includes detecting, by a loader, overlapping permissions for a page while loading a binary file. When writable data overlaps with read-only code in a page, the loader copies the code part of the page with the overlapping permissions to a new page. The original page is set non-executable. The new page can be set executable but read-only. When execution reaches the now non-executable original page, a segmentation fault may be raised. A signal handler installed by the loader detects that the fault is coming from the original page and redirects execution to the new page with the copied code part.
