Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and architecture are provided for generating a sound-enhanced sensing envelope. A plurality of sensors and one or more passive sound sensors of a vehicle are used to collect and process sensor data signals characterizing an exterior environment of the vehicle, thereby generating a sensing envelope around the vehicle using direct sensing data signals and a sound-enhanced sensing envelope around the vehicle using indirect sensing data signals. The sound-enhanced sensing envelope is used to evaluate advanced driver assistance system commands for the vehicle with respect to safety-related events identified by the indirect sensing data signals.

Abstract: A system that enables efficient analysis of system states or snapshots is provided. Embodiments collect data that describes a current status of a software application being debugged, along with the current state of the environment in which the application is executed, as a system state. Embodiments simplify and accelerate debugging by performing automatic comparison of different states or snapshots as triggered by user or system selection, highlighting the differences. Embodiments further enable rule definition to ignore data in the comparison that is not relevant for a current use case; customizing information being saved as part of system snapshots; and, for common application scenarios, predefined configuration templates to control the type and amount of information being saved and compared.

Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus for external access to core resources (211,212) of a processor (2) comprising a processing core (21), a shared memory (22), and a multiple paths Direct Memory Access, DMA, controller (23). Access to core critical resources can be performed while the core is executing an application program. The proposed apparatus comprises a Manager module (13) which is operable to setup the DMA controller to copy the assigned core resources via allocated DMA channel into a safe memory region. Further, an Observer module (14) is operable to read the transferred data and make the correlation on the host apparatus side. This allows accessing data used by the core via the DMA controller into, e.g., a run-time debugger accessible region.
