Integrated Circuit with a Patching Function |
摘要 |
An integrated circuit with a patching function comprises a one-time programmable memory (OTP), a random access memory (RAM), and a control unit. The control unit copies data stored on the OTP into the RAM to obtain a copied image mirroring said data. It checks for presence of one or more patch instructions in the OTP, and, if a patch instruction is found in the OTP, modifies a portion of the copied image based on the patch instruction, to obtain a patched image stored in the RAM. The integrated circuit further comprises a processing unit configured to access the patched image in the RAM. The patch can be provided wirelessly. |

1. An integrated circuit with a patching function, the integrated circuit comprising
a one-time programmable memory (OTP); a random access memory (RAM); a control unit arranged for: copying data stored on the OTP into the RAM to obtain a copied image mirroring said data; checking for presence of a patch instruction in the OTP, and if a patch instruction is found in the OTP, modifying a portion of the copied image based on the patch instruction, to obtain a patched image stored in the RAM. |
