  • Patent number: 11720504
    Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to implementing a thread device that can associate with a thread network. The thread device includes a network processor, a first memory, and a host processor communicatively coupled to the network processor and the first memory. The first memory can be a nonvolatile memory with a first level security protection, and configured to store a first dataset including thread network parameters for the network processor to manage network functions for the thread device associated with the thread network. The network processor can be coupled to a second memory to store a second dataset having a same content as the first dataset. The network processor is configured to manage the network functions based on the second dataset. The second memory can be a volatile memory with a second level security protection that is less than the first level security protection.

The first memory can be a nonvolatile memory with a first level security protection, and configured to store a first dataset including thread network parameters for the network processor to manage network functions for the thread device associated with the thread network. The host processor is configured to perform various operations associated with the first dataset stored in the first memory. The network processor can be communicatively coupled to a second memory to store a second dataset, where the second dataset has a same content as the first dataset. The network processor is configured to manage the network functions based on the second dataset.
