Error Notification and Handling

The Raven ASIC and Falcon chip set can detect certain hardware errors
and can be programmed to report these errors via the RavenMPIC
interrupts or Machine Check Interrupt. Note that the TEA

signal is not

used at all by the MVME2300 series. The following table summarizes how
hardware errors are handled by the MVME2300 series boards:

Table 5-5. Error Notification and Handling

Cause

Action

Single-bit ECC

Store: Write corrected data to memory.
Load: Present corrected data to the MPC master.
Generate interrupt via RavenMPIC if so enabled.

Double-bit ECC

Store: Terminate the bus cycle normally without writing to DRAM.
Load: Present un-corrected data to the MPC master.
Generate interrupt via RavenMPIC if so enabled.
Generate Machine Check Interrupt to the processor(s) if so enabled.

MPC Bus Time Out

Store: Discard write data and terminate bus cycle normally.
Load: Present undefined data to the MPC master.
Generate interrupt via RavenMPIC if so enabled.
Generate Machine Check Interrupt to the processor(s) if so enabled.

PCI Target Abort

Store: Discard write data and terminate bus cycle normally.
Load: Return all ones and terminate bus cycle normally.
Generate interrupt via RavenMPIC if so enabled.
Generate Machine Check Interrupt to the processor(s) if so enabled.

PCI Master Abort

Store: Discard write data and terminate bus cycle normally
Load: Return all ones and terminate bus cycle normally
Generate interrupt via RavenMPIC if so enabled
Generate Machine Check Interrupt to the processor(s) if so enabled

PERR# Detected

Generate interrupt via RavenMPIC if so enabled
Generate Machine Check Interrupt to the processor(s) if so enabled

SERR# Detected

Generate interrupt via RavenMPIC if so enabled
Generate Machine Check Interrupt to the processor(s) if so enabled
