Abstract: A microcontroller includes a processor and the hardware accelerator coupled to the processor. The microcontroller is programmed to execute a processing operation able to be parameterized by at least one parameter by delivering the at least one parameter from the processor to the hardware accelerator. The microcontroller can be part of an on-board vehicle computer.
