  • Patent number: 9781120
    Abstract: A system on chip comprises a responder unit comprising a set of responder elements and an access control unit associated with an authorization list and the responder unit. An entry of the authorization list defines a set of access requirements in relation to an address space identifying at least part of the responder unit. The access control unit is arranged to: receive a request for access to a target responder element among the responder elements of the responder unit, determine the corresponding set of access requirements for the received access request from the authorization list, and evaluate the request for access with respect to the determined set of access requirements and generate a first request evaluation result.

  • Patent number: 9152511
    Abstract: A system for distributing an available memory resource comprising at least two random access memory (RAM) elements and RAM routing logic. The RAM routing logic comprises configuration logic to dynamically distribute the available memory resource into a first memory area providing redundant memory storage and a second memory area providing non-redundant memory storage. The system may further comprise bus access ports which support at least one of concurrent access by a bus access port to access redundantly stored data or non-redundantly stored data, or concurrent access by at least two bus access ports to respective RAM elements to access redundantly stored data or to a respective one of the RAM elements to access non-redundantly stored data. Comparison logic and error detection or correction logic may be provided to detect or correct errors in information read from the RAM elements.
