If this is true, I think I'd physically be sick...
Sure this new arm chip has some amazing potential to change the world and I can easily see the importance this new arm chip will eventually play...
But.... I feel sick thinking about the fact that he's the possible reason why... digital warfare killing people for a patent, it adds up! Robert Noyce would be turning in his grave!

new product categories capable, quite literally, of changing the world.”Advanced functionality, power efficiency and integrationThe Kinetis KL03 MCU combines the power efficiency of the Kinetis L series based on ARM® Cortex®-M0+ cores with enhanced low-power functionalities including register files, SRTC, low power UART, and additional low power wake up pins.Additionally, the new product offers greater ease of use over the previous generation. An added ROM-based boot loader allows factory programming and on-line system firmware upgrades without adding circuitry to the board, reducing programming-related costs for customers. An internal, highly accurate voltage reference (Vref) delivers improved analog performance by supplying an embedded 1.2 volt reference for the ADC, enabling several use cases for applications requiring high ADC accuracy.The Kinetis KL03 MCU integrates:48 MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ core, 1.71-3.6V operationBit manipulation engine for faster, more code-efficient handling of peripheral registers32 KB flash memory, 2 KB RAM8K ROM with on-chip boot loaderHigh-speed 12-bit ADCInternal voltage reference for high ADC accuracyHigh-speed analog comparatorLow power wake upLow-power UART, SPI, I2C (high speed)Secure real time clockPowerful timers for a broad range of applications including motor control-40 °C to +85 °C operation
This chip is a game changer...
Oh, this part is really stretching!
Considering the large passenger jet had flown undetected for six hours, the elites had to be involved because they are the only ones who can accomplish such a task.
According to World Truth TV…..
“Avoiding radar via “cloaking technology” has long been one of the objectives of the defense industry and Freescale has been active developing chips for military radar.
And they would have gotten that installed and working on a commercial passenger jet without any one noticing? Yeah, right!
Game changer?

Hardly - better processing capability in your XBox.
I'm not saying it's all true... but if the plane was electronically highjacked, eg from onboard on a chair, brought the boing into some test mode or gained control.
My non existant xbox cpu is hundreds of times bigger, this chip could be embedded almost anywhere!
Yes, could be embedded - but the peripherals to actually make it connectable to anything will make the actual end device many times larger.
The Boeing 777 is a Fly by Wire aircraft - however read the last sentence from wikipedia article:
Fly-by-wire[edit]In designing the 777 as its first fly-by-wire commercial aircraft, Boeing decided to retain conventional control yokes rather than change to sidestick controllers as used in many fly-by-wire fighter aircraft and in many Airbus airliners. Along with traditional yoke and rudder controls, the cockpit features a simplified layout that retains similarities to previous Boeing models. The fly-by-wire system also incorporates flight envelope protection, a system that guides pilot inputs within a computer-calculated framework of operating parameters, acting to prevent stalls and overly stressful maneuvers. This system can be overridden by the pilot in command if deemed necessary. The fly-by-wire system is supplemented by mechanical backup.
So remote takeover of the plane is highly unlikely.
There's nothing like waking up to a good conspiracy theory in the morning.

Great news @cjdelphi!
Basically, the patent takes what PIC and XMEGA processors have done for years and "improves" the idea by being able to remap groups of pins instead of single pins. That patently obvious and marginally valuable idea is most certainly not worth a human life.
Just in case you don't believe me...
cjdelphi:
Will sample when it is available...
