  • Serial bootstrap
    Patent number: 11782726
    Abstract: Approaches in accordance with various embodiments can be used to provide bootstrap data for a computing device, such as a system on chip (SoC). In particular, various embodiments can use one or more shift registers to receive bits of a sequence of bootstrap data in parallel. Individual bits of this bootstrap data sequence can then be provided to the SoC, from the shift register(s), serially and using a single input. Such an approach prevents the need for multiple bootstrap pins on the SoC, as well as the need to multiplex those pins for use with other external devices.

  • Multiprocessor system-on-a-chip for machine vision algorithms
    Patent number: 9075764
    Abstract: A multiprocessor system includes a main memory and multiple processing cores that are configured to execute software that uses data stored in the main memory. In some embodiments, the multiprocessor system includes a data streaming unit, which is connected between the processing cores and the main memory and is configured to pre-fetch the data from the main memory for use by the multiple processing cores. In some embodiments, the multiprocessor system includes a scratch-pad processing unit, which is connected to the processing cores and is configured to execute, on behalf of the multiple processing cores, a selected part of the software that causes two or more of the processing cores to access concurrently a given item of data.
