  • Patent number: 11927629
    Abstract: Techniques for debugging a circuit including a global counter configured to continuously increment, a comparator configured to transmit a clock stop signal based on a comparison of a comparator value and a counter value of the global counter, and clock stop circuitry configured to receive the clock stop signal and stop a clock signal to one or more portions of the electronic device.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240005449
    Abstract: An image data frame is received from an external source. An error concealment operation is performed on the received image data frame in response to determining that a first frame size of the received image data frame is erroneous. The first frame size of the image data frame is determined to be erroneous based on at least one frame synchronization signal associated with the image data frame. An image processing operation is performed on the received image data frame on which the error concealment operation has been performed, thereby enabling an image processing module to perform the image processing operation without entering into a deadlock state and thereby prevent a host processor from having to execute hardware resets of deadlocked modules.

  • Publication number: 20230016766
    Abstract: A hub that receives sensor data streams and then distributes the data streams to the various systems that use the sensor data. A demultiplexer (demux) receives the streams, filters out undesired streams and provides desired streams to the proper multiplexer (mux) or muxes of a series of muxes. Each mux combines received streams and provides an output stream to a respective formatter or output block. The formatter or output block is configured based on the destination of the mux output stream, such as an image signal processor, a processor, memory or external transmission. The output block reformats the received stream to a format appropriate for the recipient and then provides the reformatted stream to that recipient.
