    Abstract: System and method for providing adaptive access to a hardware block on a computer system. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first access request and a second access request with an access controller, wherein the second access request is received sequentially after the first access request, and the first access request includes a first master identification and the second access request includes a second master identification, determining if the second master identification is equal to the first master identification, providing access to the second access request if the second master identification is equal to the first master identification, wherein the first master identification is associated with one or more hardware block interface values, invalidating the one or more hardware block interface values associated with the first master identification if the second master identification is not equal to the first master identification, and associating the one or more hardware block interface values with the second master identification and a corresponding privilege.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting power attacks related to subnormal read voltage on an integrated circuit. Upon initiating power up of the integrated circuit and prior to reading configuration information from non-volatile memory (NVM), test cells associated with the NVM are read first. The test cells share a common power supply with the NVM and output read values from the test cells are configured to deviate from values pre-programmed in the test cells when a subnormal read voltage is applied on the common power supply. Thus, by comparing the output read values with the pre-programmed values, it can be determined whether voltage of the common power supply is subnormal, wherein configuration information will be read incorrectly at a subnormal read voltage. If the voltage is subnormal, power up is aborted. Otherwise, power up is allowed to proceed by reading the configuration information from the NVM.
