    Abstract: In an example, a method includes copying data between a source device and a destination device to form first copied data. The method also includes, responsive to completion of the copying, performing a verify-read operation. The verify-read operation includes determining a first checksum of the first copied data, copying the data between the source device and the destination device to form second copied data, determining a second checksum of the second copied data, comparing the first checksum to the second checksum to determine a comparison result, and determining a data integrity validation result based on the comparison result.

    Abstract: A circuit includes a primary register region and a primary shadow register; a secondary register region and a secondary shadow register; and a safety controller having multiple states. The safety controller transitions to a first write state when a first write signal to write a first value to the primary register region is detected, and copies the first value written to the primary register region to the primary shadow register; transitions to a second write state when a second write signal to write a second value to the secondary register region is detected within a set amount of time of detection of the first write signal, and in the second write state, copies the second value written to the secondary register region to the secondary shadow register; transitions to a compare state to receive a comparison signal indicating whether the first value is the same as the second value; and transitions to an update state when the first value is the same as the second value.

    Abstract: A circuit comprises a power controller, a real-time clock (RTC) sub-system, and a processing sub-system. The RTC sub-system includes an alarm register storing a predetermined time for a task, and provides an early warning countdown and a scheduled event signal. The processing sub-system includes a processor, a preemptive wakeup circuit, and a component coupled to the processor and configured to execute the task with the processor. The preemptive wakeup circuit comprises a selector logic circuit, a comparator, and a wakeup initiation circuit. The selector logic circuit receives latency values indicative of wakeup times for a clock generator and the component, and outputs a longest wakeup time to the comparator, which indicates when the early warning countdown and the longest wakeup time are equal. The wakeup initiation circuit generates a clock request and disables the sleep mode indicator. The power controller provides a clock signal and wakes the component.
