US Classification:

326 41, 326 47, 712 15, 711170

Abstract:

A PLD having real-time in-system programmability (ISP) capability is provided. The PLD includes a configuration memory region into which the updated configuration is obtained. A user memory region stores the state for registers of the PLD. The configuration memory region communicates the updated configuration to a core logic region that includes a real-time ISP detection block that detects the initiation of a real-time ISP operation. A controller is in communication with the logic block. The PLD maintains register data by reading a state of the registers of the PLD/logic block and clamping the output pins before the core logic region is being updated. The state of the registers is saved in the memory region as directed by the controller. Upon completion of the update into the logic array, the registers of the PLD are cleared and a control signal from a memory interface triggers the controller to read stored the register data back from the memory and reload the registers. Upon the completion of reloading the registers, the output pins are released for normal device operation.

Abstract:

Various implementations disclosed herein enable controlling access to networks. In various implementations, a method of controlling access to a network is performed by a computing device including one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. In various implementations, the method includes obtaining an indication that a mobile device having access to a first network utilizing a first radio access technology (RAT) has requested access to a second network utilizing a second RAT. In some implementations, the method includes determining whether the access to the first network satisfies an authentication criterion associated with the second network. In some implementations, the method includes granting the mobile device access to the second network in response to determining that the access to the first network satisfies the authentication criterion associated with the second network. In some implementations, accessing the second network via the authentication criterion satisfies an operating threshold associated with the mobile device.
