Methods, systems and apparatus for functional safety implementation

Abstract:

The disclosure generally provides methods, systems and apparatus for functional safety systems. In one implementation, a shim layer of software codes that maps into register information collects diagnostic error data. The data is then channeled through one or more virtual tunnels into a Host-based STL. The virtual tunnels are unidirectional to only provide Read access and thereby prevent unauthorized Write access. In another embodiment, the information is provided to external subscribers. The external subscribers may gain access to different levels of data according to the subscription level.
