Abstract: A processing module is provided. The processing module includes one or more interfaces configured to communicate with at least one integrated development environment and processing circuitry configured to control the one or more interfaces. The processing circuitry is further configured to obtain information about at least one hardware microservice of a processing unit, adapt the information about the at least one hardware microservice to a universal format for informing the at least one IDE about the at least one hardware microservice and provide the at least one IDE access to the at least one hardware microservice.

Abstract: The disclosure generally provides methods, systems and apparatus for functional safety systems. In one implementation, a shim layer of software codes that maps into register information collects diagnostic error data. The data is then channeled through one or more virtual tunnels into a Host-based STL. The virtual tunnels are unidirectional to only provide Read access and thereby prevent unauthorized Write access. In another embodiment, the information is provided to external subscribers. The external subscribers may gain access to different levels of data according to the subscription level.

Abstract: A processing unit is provided. The processing unit includes one or more interfaces configured to communicate with at least one hardware component and processing circuitry configured to control the one or more interfaces and to determine a superset of a plurality of hardware microservices of the at least one hardware component.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for reducing routing overheads during data transmission to a destination mobile router of a plurality of mobile routers roaming in a network. The method comprises registering by top level mobile routers with a central authority server, sending data packets by a corresponding node of the network to the destination mobile router operationally attached to a corresponding top level mobile router, locating a position of the destination mobile router by identifying attachment of the destination mobile router to the corresponding top level mobile router from the information registered by the plurality of mobile routers with the central authority server, routing the data packet directly to the corresponding top level mobile router to which the destination mobile router is operationally attached and receiving the data packet by the destination mobile router from the corresponding top level mobile router, thereby reducing routing overheads in the network.

Abstract: A node that couples to the Internet establishes a secure connection with another node that couples to the Internet. The secure connection to be established via an IPsec security association. The node registers with an authority that couples to the Internet and provides public key infrastructure (PKI) services. Registration is to include obtaining both a private and a public and key. The PKI services to include providing the private key to only the registered node and providing the public key to another registered node that requests PKI services from the authority. The node requests the PKI services from the authority based on a change in a point of attachment for the node to the Internet. The node then authenticates the other node via the PKI services and exchanges a secret key with the other node based on the authentication of the other node. The node is to implement an encryption scheme that uses the exchanged secret key for symmetric encryption of data exchanged between the node and the other node.
