Abstract: A method includes powering up a privileged core while leaving an unprivileged core unpowered, the privileged core and the unprivileged core respectively of a microcontroller, configuring a hardware-based mechanism of access control for the unprivileged core, the configuring at least partially based on control parameters that define access to resources by the unprivileged core; and powering up the unprivileged core, operation of the unprivileged core subject to the hardware-based mechanism of access control.

Abstract: An automotive Ethernet system-on-chip (SoC) implements a power management state that is a lower power standby for an embedded controller of a physical layer (PHY). The SoC combines an always-on power domain (AON) and a switched power domain (SWP). A power manager activates the lower power standby state through a standby signal sent to a power controller in the AON. The standby state enables the power manager of the SoC to switch a system clock from a high-frequency clock to a low frequency clock generated in the AON and turns off a clock dedicated to the PHY.

Abstract: One or more examples relate, generally, to an apparatus. Such an apparatus includes a digital interface, a wake detect logic, and a power management connection. The digital interface may define a physical layer transceiver side of a connection between a physical layer transceiver and a physical layer controller, respectively of a 10SPE physical layer. The wake detect logic may communicate a source of detected wake from the physical layer transceiver to the physical layer controller via the digital interface. The power management connection may operatively couple to an enable connection of a switched voltage regulator.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices for communicating a source of a 10SPE wake. Such a communication may be performed over a low-pin count hardware interface of a 10SPE physical layer (PHY) module having a split arrangement. A controller side of a 10SPE PHY may perform a local or remote 10SPE wake forward in response to a communicated source of a wake. Also disclosed is a digital interface for operatively coupling a PHY controller to PHY transceiver over a low-pin count connection, where the digital interface includes circuitry for checking the integrity of circuitry of the digital interface.

Abstract: A gaming device includes a symbol generator having a plurality of adjacently arranged sections. A plurality of the sections are each associated with or display one or a plurality of characteristics. The sections associated with the characteristics are each associated with or display a symbol or an award. At least one of the sections is a designated section and is not initially associated with a characteristic. The designated section is operable to sequentially display one, more or each of the characteristics associated with the other non-designated sections. When the symbol generator indicates one of the sections that displays an award and is associated with a characteristic, the gaming device provides the player with the award associated with the section. When the symbol generator indicates the designated section, the gaming device sequentially associates or displays a plurality of the characteristics associated with the other sections with the designated section.
