Abstract: A system-on-chip comprising a sender unit and a receiver unit and a method of operating thereof are described. The sender unit comprises a send counter for providing a send counter value. The receiver unit comprises a receive counter for providing a receive counter value. The sender unit is arranged to increment the send counter value by an increment and send a data packet to the receiver unit. The receiver unit is arranged to receive the data packet and increment the receive counter value by the increment. In a challenge operation, the sender unit sends the send counter value to the receiver unit. In a challenge response operation, the receiver unit receives the send counter value, compares the values, and generates a comparison result. Loss of data packets from the sender unit as well as reception of unexpected data packets from a third functional unit may thus be detected.

In the articulation section, a bolt opening is provided through which the bolt can pass and can rotate relative to at least two axes. The fork section has an articulation recess for receiving the articulation section of an adjoining identical chain link, the fork section having two opposite bolt recesses which can receive the opposite ends of the bolt of the adjoining chain link. The articulation and fork sections of two adjoining, identical chain links are maintained at a distance by two slide sections.
