8.2.9.2.1.2. ECC Read Behavior

When data is read from SDRAM, the SDRAM controller checks the ECC to determine if the data or address is incorrect. It handles the following cases:

  • If the SDRAM controller finds a single-bit data error, it corrects in the data returned to the master. You can also enable the SDRAM adapter to write the corrected data back to memory.
  • If the SDRAM controller finds a double-bit data error, the SDRAM L3 interconnect issues a bus error. The SDRAM L3 interconnect can also issue an interrupt, if enabled. Double-bit errors cannot be corrected.
  • If the SDRAM controller finds an error in the address, indicating an address bit upset between the adapter and the HMC, the SDRAM L3 interconnect hardware issues a bus error.
