Title: An Apparatus and method for controlling access to a set of memory mapped control registers
Inventor: THOMAS CHRISTOPHER GROCUTT
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2020-01-30
Abstract: Processing circuitry 2 has a lockdown register 34 and a set of memory mapped control registers 38. When the lockdown register is set, only a first subset of the types of store instructions can write to the control registers. When the lockdown register is clear, a second subset of the types of store instructions can write to the control registers in addition to the first subset. If a store instruction, which is not from the first subset of write instructions, writes to a control register when the lockdown is set, a fault may be generated. The first subset of write instructions may include a control register specific store instruction. The control register specific store instruction may generate a fault if not used on a control register. The control register specific store instruction may use a register and an immediate value to determine the address of the register. The lockdown register may be a memory mapped register. When the lockdown register is clear, load multiple and store multiple instructions may be used to access the control registers. The control registers may control which areas of memory can only be accessed by trusted code.

Title: Data-driven high-precision integrated navigation data fusion method
Inventor: BINGBO CUI
IPC: G01C21/00
Filed: 2020-08-27
Abstract: A data-driven high-precision integrated navigation data fusion method. The Gaussian process is used to achieve a precise estimation of posterior distribution of the navigation parameters of an integrated navigation system and the data-driven transformation of an error matrix of sampling points. Specifically, after the integrated navigation system is powered on, fitting of an error propagation model of the sampling points is performed when time t k<t n; and when time t k>t n, approximation of an model error is performed on the basis of IMU original data and prediction of the error matrix of the sampling points is performed. On the basis of the predicted error matrix of the sampling points, the output angle increment of an upward gyroscope and the specific force of a carrier in the traveling direction in the integrated navigation system are used as input variables of the error propagation model of the sampling points to achieve updating of the sampling points, and the approximation of a matrix matching error of the system model is directly performed on the basis of sensor data. Therefore, the precise estimation of the navigation parameters of the integrated system is realized, and the robustness of a parameterized model of the integrated navigation system is improved.
