Abstract:
A method of protecting software for embedded applications against unauthorized access is disclosed. Software to be protected is loaded into a protected memory area and access to the protected memory area is controlled by sentinel logic circuitry. The sentinel logic circuitry allows access to the protected memory area only either from within the protected memory area or from outside of the protected memory area but through a dedicated memory location within the protected memory area. The dedicated memory location then points to protected address locations within the protected memory area.

Claim (Index 10):
The electronic device of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one interface, the at least one interface being one of a test interface, a direct memory access interface, or an emulation interface, and wherein the access control circuitry is configured to prevent read and write operations initiated via the at least one interface from accessing the protected area and the auxiliary area.
