Abstract

A method and system for authenticating and enabling activation of a configuration used for controlling a product, where the configuration is implemented as safety critical logic functions in programmable logic blocks of a Field Programmable Gate Array, FPGA, having a volatile configuration-memory. The configuration is loaded into the volatile configuration-memory of the FPGA via an external interface input of the FPGA. The content of the configuration-memory of the FPGA is read via an interface of the FPGA. This is done immediately after completed loading of the configuration into the memory of the FPGA. A Cyclic Redundancy Check, CRC, checksum of the read content of the configuration-memory is computed in an CRC checksum generator, and a resulting generated CRC checksum value is compared with an externally stored valid CRC checksum value of the expected FPGA configuration. It is then checked if the generated CRC checksum value and the stored valid CRC checksum value match and the outputs of selected logic functions of the FPGA are enabled only if the generated CRC check value and the stored valid CRC checksum values match.

Abstract

19 ABSTRACT System and method for assisting in docking of a vessel 100. The system comprises at least one sensor 110 which is, for example, a camera located on the vessel 100 and a data processing unit 190 which real-time processes relative 3D 5 position between a first set of distinct points 140 from the dock location and a second set of distinct points 150 from a surrounding area 120. 3D position between distinct surrounding points is basically related to the 3D position of the at least one camera. These are the points that the invention 10 relates the first set of distinct points 140 of the dock location to, and which are used to be able to complete the docking operation even though the points of the dock location are not visible to the at least one camera in the final phase of the docking operation. 15 FIG. 3
