Byte Parity Checking and Generation

The ATU internal bus interface supports byte-wise parity protection on the internal bus.

This includes ADDP[4:0] and DATAP[15:0] on the address bus (A[35:0]) and the data

bus (D[127:0]) respectively.
For an outbound request the ATU check the address parity before claiming the request

on the internal bus. When an error occurs, the transaction is not claimed. The Data

parity information is captured off the internal bus and stored in the internal queues. At

the PCI Express interface, the parity information is checked as the data packet is

transferred on the link. When a parity error occurs, the packet is nullified by using the

End Bad marker and state is updated so corrective action can be taken when the packet

is replayed on the PCI Express link. Header parity errors, which can only occur in the

retry buffer, results in a malformed packet that is dropped by the component on the

other side of the link. Data parity errors results in the EP bit being set to notify the

target of the TLP that the data is corrupt.
For an inbound write request, the ATU computes and appends address parity and data

parity before placing the TLP in the inbound queues. When an ECRC violation is

detected the packet is treated as when an address parity error occurred and the entire

packet is dropped without forwarding it to the internal bus. When a poisoned TLP is

received the parity for the entire payload is inverted so that the internal bus target

detects bad parity on all bytes.

Parity Generation

Data parity signals include byte enables in the calculation.

Table 133

lists data bits that

are used for parity calculation. Parity bits are calculated by bit XOR-ing the data bits as

shown in

Table 133

. As an example, the parity calculation for the lowest order byte of

the data bus D[7:0] is calculated as follows:

Equation 12.DATAP0 = D[0] XOR D[1] XOR D[2] XOR D[3] XOR D[4] XOR D[5] XOR D[6]

XOR D[7] XOR WBE[0]
