Abstract: System and method of configuring an external radar device through high speed reverse data transmission. In one embodiment, the system includes a radar data processing module for processing radar data received from the external radar device, and a radar configuration management module for generating control data for controlling the external radar device. The system further includes a configurable half-duplex interface, wherein the configurable half-duplex interface, in response to receiving a turnaround command, switches between (1) a configuration for transmitting control data packets to the external radar device via a communication link, and (2) a configuration for receiving radar data packets from the external radar device via the communication link.

Abstract: A system and method for real-time data transfer on a system-on-chip (SoC) allows MIPI-CSI (camera serial interface) data received on a first interface to be output on another MIPI-CSI interface without using system memory or delaying the loopback path. The system includes a CSI receiver, a loopback buffer, and a CSI transmitter. The loopback buffer is used for the data transfer between the CSI receiver and the CSI transmitter. The CSI transmitter receives a payload included in a data packet from the CSI receiver by way of the loopback buffer. The CSI receiver communicates a packet header of the data packet to the CSI transmitter. The CSI transmitter reads the payload from the loopback buffer based on the packet header and at least one of a buffer threshold capacity and payload size.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for operating a device to receive a first signaling state sequence on a multi-wire interface within a first voltage range to cause the device to transition to a high-speed communication mode for receiving high-speed data on the multi-wire interface within a second, smaller voltage range before returning to a low-power communication mode when the device receives on the multi-wire interface a second sequence of two signaling states within the first voltage range to signal a turnaround command without requiring any additional signaling state within the first voltage range, where the turnaround command enables the device to transmit data from the device over the multi-wire interface by transmitting on the multi-wire interface the first sequence of signaling states within the first voltage range to cause the device to transition to a high-speed communication mode for transmitting data from the device over the multi-wire interface.

Abstract: An electronic device is described that includes: a host processor comprising at least one input port configured to receive a plurality of data signals on a plurality of virtual channels; and a memory operably coupled to the host processor and configured to receive and store data. The host processor is configured to enable and disable individual virtual channels from the plurality of virtual channels and is configured to only store data in memory associated with enabled virtual channels, and discard data from disabled channels.

Abstract: A video device is described that includes: a host processor comprising at least one input video port configured to receive a plurality of video data signals that comprise video data and embedded data from a plurality of virtual channels in a received frame; and a memory operably coupled to the host processor and configured to receive and store video data. The host processor is configured to segregate the video data from the embedded data in the received frame and process the embedded data individually.

Abstract: A holder such as a portable document/notebook holder is provided for use with a portable computer such as a netbook or a laptop computer to locate a document or a notebook in a front space relative to a user by mounting the holder on to the portable computer and attaching the document or notebook to that holder. Connectors such as clips may be coupled to ends of two arms that are movably coupled to each other on the other ends. For example, a first arm may fold against a second arm in a closed position and the first arm may maintain an open position when the first arm is either partially folded or not folded. For reading hand written notes, instead of repetitive turning of the neck sideways only upward and downward movement of eyeballs is sufficient which avoids straining of neck or back, making the typing much faster and a comfortable task.
