Abstract: Techniques are provided to implement line based processing of thermal images and a flexible memory system. In one example, individual lines of a thermal image frame may be provided to an image processing pipeline. Image processing operations may be performed on the individual lines in stages of the image processing pipeline. A memory system may be used to buffer the individual lines in the pipeline stages. In another example, a memory system may be used to send and receive data between various components without relying on a single shared bus. Data transfers may be performed between different components and different memories of the memory system using a switch fabric to route data over different buses. In another example, a memory system may support data transfers using different clocks of various components, without requiring the components and the memory system to all be synchronized to the same clock source.

Abstract: A data processing system (100, 300) allows an individually mappable word of memory to patch a desired memory location. During operation, a memory system (130) monitors an address/control bus to determine when an access to a specified word in a system memory (120) occurs. When an access to the specified word occurs, address comparators (140) determine if a memory location to be patched is being accessed, and provides an active signal to the access control circuit (150), which prevents data flow with the system memory (120) and enables the data flow with a separate memory (170) by controlling a transmission gate 115. Therefore, the data access occurs from the separate memory and not the system memory.
