9. Error Protection and Handling
9.1 Correctable Errors
Correctable errors consist of:
- secondary cache tag array correctable ECC errors
- secondary cache data array correctable ECC errors
- System interface address/data bus correctable ECC errors
When the processor detects a correctable error, the error is automatically corrected, and normal operation continues. Secondary cache array scrubbing is not performed.
The processor informs the external agent that a correctable error was detected and then corrected by asserting the SysCorErr* signal for one SysClk cycle.
