Abstract

An apparatus of a System on Chip (SoC) to implement a one out of two diagnostics (1oo2D) safety system comprises a memory comprising firmware to provide monitoring of the SoC and a second SoC, and a communication interface to provide cross-monitoring between the SoC and the second SoC. The firmware and the communication interface enable the SoC and the second SoC to implement the 1oo2D safety system without significant hardware or software external to the SoC.
