发明名称 DETECTING A READ ACCESS TO UNALLOCATED OR UNINITIALIZED MEMORY
摘要 Embodiments relates to a data processing device (1) for detecting a read access to unallocated or uninitialized memory, comprising a processor (2), a memory controller (3) and a memory (4), wherein the processor (2) is configured for executing an operating system (OS) and computer programs (P), wherein the operating system (OS) is configured for allocating and releasing memory for said computer programs (P), wherein the memory controller (3) comprises an error correction code determination unit (5), and is configured for:—in response to a write access command for storing first data (D1) in the memory (4), determining a first error correction code (ECC1) in function of said first data (D1) and storing said first error correction code (ECC1) and said first data (D1) in association in said memory (4),—in response to a read access command for reading second data (D2) from the memory, determining (T4) a second error correction code (ECC2) in function of the second data (D2), comparing (T5) the second error correction code (ECC2) with a third error correction code (ECC3) stored in association with said second data (D2) in the memory (4), and outputting (T6) the second data (D2) if the second and third error correction codes match or outputting (T6′) an read error signal if the second and third error correction codes do not match,—in response to a write access command to a test interface of the memory controller (3), storing (U4) a fourth error correction code (ECC4) in association with third data (D3) in the memory (4), wherein the fourth error correction code (ECC4) is invalid with respect to said third data (D3), wherein the processor is configured for outputting (U2) a write access command for a memory area to said test interface of the memory controller (3) in response to releasing (U1) of the memory area by the operating system (OS).

主权项 1. Data processing device for detecting a read access to unallocated or uninitialized memory, comprising a processor, a memory controller and a memory, wherein the processor is configured for executing an operating system and computer programs, wherein the operating system is configured for allocating and releasing memory for said computer programs, wherein the memory controller comprises an error correction code determination unit, and is configured for: in response to a write access command for storing first data in the memory, determining a first error correction code in function of said first data and storing said first error correction code and said first data in association in said memory, in response to a read access command for reading second data from the memory, determining a second error correction code in function of the second data, comparing the second error correction code with a third error correction code stored in association with said second data in the memory, and outputting the second data if the second and third error correction codes match or outputting an read error signal if the second and third error correction codes do not match, in response to a write access command to a test interface of the memory controller, storing a fourth error correction code in association with third data in the memory, wherein the fourth error correction code is invalid with respect to said third data, wherein the processor is configured for outputting a write access command for a memory area to said test interface of the memory controller in response to releasing of the memory area by the operating system.
