The address scrambling circuit performs the steps outlined below. An original access address is received to be interpreted into original unit indexes and a minimal original unit according to regional unit levels of a memory. Scrambled unit indexes and a minimal scrambled unit are generated correspondingly according to a random address generation algorithm, to further generate a scrambled access address accordingly, in which when a plurality of different original access addresses have at least one the same original unit indexes from the highest block unit level, the scrambled unit indexes generated therefrom are the same. The memory controller accesses the memory according to the scrambled access address.

  • Publication number: 20230041147
    Abstract: A debugging management platform and an operating method for the same are provided. In the operating method, the debugging management platform operates a debugging agent service for establishing a debugging channel between a software development platform and a test platform. When receiving debugging packets are issued by the software development platform or the test platform, the debugging agent service analyzes the debugging packets and checks if the debugging packets meet an information security standard. The debugging packets are forwarded to the test platform or the software development platform if the debugging packets meet the information security standard. If the debugging packets do not meet the information security standard, the debugging packets are not forwarded, so as to ensure information security of the debugging packets that are forwarded between different environments.
