Device And Method To Assign Device Pin Ownership For Multi-Processor Core Devices

摘要

An embedded device has a plurality of processor cores, each with a plurality of peripheral devices, wherein each peripheral device has an output. Furthermore, a housing with a plurality of assignable external pins and a protected pin ownership logic for each assignable external pin is provided and configured to be programmable to assign an output function of an associated assignable external pin to only one of the plurality of processor cores.
