  • Patent number: 8705521
    Abstract: A data interface for transferring digital data between a host and a client over a communication path using packet structures linked together to form a communication protocol for communicating a pre-selected set of digital control and presentation data. The signal protocol is used by link controllers configured to generate, transmit, and receive packets forming the communications protocol, and to form digital data into one or more types of data packets, with at least one residing in the host device and being coupled to the client through the communications path. The interface provides a cost-effective, low power, bi-directional, high-speed data transfer mechanism over a short-range “serial” type data link, which lends itself to implementation with miniature connectors and thin flexible cables which are especially useful in connecting display elements such as wearable micro-displays to portable computers and wireless communication devices.

  • Publication number: 20140052975
    Abstract: A computing system includes a first central processing unit (CPU) and a second CPU coupled with the first CPU and with a host processor. In response to a request by the host processor to boot the second CPU, the first CPU is configured to execute secure booting of the second CPU by decrypting encrypted code to generate decrypted code executable by the second CPU but that is inaccessible by the host processor.

  • Publication number: 20140053278
    Abstract: A computing system, comprising includes a first central processing unit (CPU) and a second CPU coupled with the first CPU and with a host processor. The second CPU and the host processor may both request the first CPU to generate keys that have access rights to regions of memory to access specific data. The first CPU may be configured to, in response to a request from the second CPU, generate a unique key with a unique access right to a region of memory, the unique key usable only by the second CPU, not the host processor.

  • Publication number: 20140053001
    Abstract: A method for managing a transcoder pipeline includes partitioning a memory with a numbered region; receiving an incoming media stream to be transcoded; and atomically loading, using a security central processing unit (SCPU), a decryption key, a counterpart encryption key and an associated region number of the memory into a slot of a key table, the key table providing selection of decryption and encryption keys during transcoding. The atomically loading the decryption and encryption keys and the associated numbered region ensures that the encryption key is selected to encrypt a transcoded version of the media stream when the media stream has been decrypted with the decryption key and the transcoded media stream is retrieved from the associated numbered region of the memory.
