    Abstract: An electronic device includes a processor and a hardware component. The processor is arranged to utilize an instruction set architecture (ISA) to transmit a first request with a first verification key to a hardware component, for requesting the hardware component to execute a system task in an unprivileged mode, wherein the ISA corresponds to the hardware component, and the system task requests to access a target hardware address. The hardware component is arranged to determine whether to access the target hardware address according to the first verification key.

    Abstract: A chipset holds a first hardware semaphore to indicate that a processing subsystem is powered off. This first hardware semaphore coordinates power states between a driver and the processing subsystem. The chipset releases the first hardware semaphore when the processing subsystem is powered on. This release allows the driver to operate on a hardware component associated with the processing subsystem. The chipset attempts to acquire the first hardware semaphore by the processing subsystem before powering off. The chipset powers off the processing subsystem upon successfully acquiring the first hardware semaphore.
