  • Publication number: 20240098234
    Abstract: A head-mounted device is provided that includes one or more cameras configured to acquire a raw video feed and one or more displays configured to present a passthrough video feed to a user. Generation of the passthrough video feed can involve processing the raw video feed using an image signal processor and auxiliary compute blocks. One or more of the auxiliary compute blocks can be bypassed in response to detecting one or more failures associated with the auxiliary compute blocks. Configured and operated in this way, the head-mounted device can fall back to a more reliable passthrough video feed without having to power cycle the head-mounted device when a failure occurs.

  • Publication number: 20240086278
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to low-overhead, bidirectional error checking for a serial peripheral interface. An example device includes an integrated circuit. The device also includes a serial peripheral interface (SPI) with a Master In Slave Out (MISO) channel and a Master Out Slave In (MOSI) channel. The MOSI channel is configured to receive a write address, payload data, and a forward error-checking code usable to identify data corruption within the write address or the payload data. The integrated circuit is configured to calculate and provide a reverse error-checking code usable to identify data corruption within the write address or the payload data. Additionally, the integrated circuit is configured to compare the forward error-checking code to the reverse error-checking code. Further, the integrated circuit is configured to write, to the write address if the forward error-checking code matches the reverse error-checking code, the payload data.

  • Patent number: 11537538
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a cache coherent system includes one or more agents (e.g., coherent agents) that may cache data used by the system. The system may include a point of coherency in a memory controller in the system, and thus the agents may transmit read requests to the memory controller to coherently read data. The point of coherency may determine if the data is cached in another agent, and may transmit a copy back request to the other agent if the other agent has modified the data. The system may include an interconnect between the agents and the memory controller. At a point on the interconnect at which traffic from the agents converges, a copy back response may be converted to a fill for the requesting agent.
