Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing micro-idle memory power management. One embodiment of a method comprises receiving and storing an exit latency vote from each of a plurality of memory subsystems on a system on chip electrically coupled to a system memory. In response to a micro-idle memory state in which each of the memory subsystems are idle, a minimum exit latency value from the plurality of exit latency votes is determined. One of a plurality of system memory modes is selected which has a micro-idle sleep time that meets the minimum exit latency value while minimizing system memory power consumption. The selected system memory mode is initiated.
Abstract:
A warm mission-mode reset may be performed in a portable computing device. Assertion of a signal indicating an error condition may be detected. In response to detection of the signal indicating an error condition, a signal indicating a request to preserve memory contents may be provided to a DRAM subsystem. Then, in response to a signal acknowledging the DRAM subsystem is preserving the memory contents, a system reset signal may be asserted.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for improved processor hang detection. An exemplary method comprises setting a timer with a hang threshold value for each of a plurality of processors of a system on a chip (SoC). The hang threshold value represents a time in microseconds. The method further comprising receiving a first heartbeat signal from each of the plurality of processors with detection logic hardware of a hang controller coupled to the plurality of processors and to the timer. The timer is reset for each of the plurality of processors if a second heartbeat signal is received from the corresponding one of the plurality of processors before the timer expires. Alternatively, a hang event notification is generated if the second heartbeat signal is not received from the corresponding one of the plurality of processors before the timer expires.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing memory address translation for a memory management system. One embodiment of such a system comprises a memory device and an application processor in communication via a system interconnect. The application processor comprises test code for testing one or more of a plurality of hardware devices. Each of the hardware devices has a corresponding system memory management unit (SMMU) for processing memory requests associated with the hardware device to the memory device. The system further comprises a client-side address translation system in communication with the system interconnect and the plurality of SMMUs. The client-side address translation system is configured to selectively route stimulus traffic associated with the test code to a client port on one or more of the plurality of SMMUs for testing the corresponding hardware devices.
