Abstract:
Hardware memory management units are used in an integrated safety/non-safety industrial computer to allow shared memory architecture processors to implement safety and non-safety reduced risk of memory corruption. Testing of the memory management unit of the non-safety processor may provide a periodic writing to protected memory to invoke a protection fault providing a report to the safety processor.
