Byte Parity Checking and Generation

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

internal bus. This includes A_PARITY[4:0] and D_PARITY[15:0] on the address bus

(A[35:0]) and the data bus (D[127:0]) respectively.
For an outbound write request (or inbound read completion) the internal bus interface

verifies the write request address parity and data parity on the data cycles.
For an inbound read completion, the internal bus interface verifies the read completion

data parity on the data cycles.
For an inbound write request, the ATU computes and appends write request address

parity and data parity data parity prior to delivering the request to the internal bus.
For an inbound read request, the internal bus interface computes and appends read

request address parity prior to delivering the request to the internal bus.

Note:

The ATU forwards data parity across to the other interface. When a data parity error

occurs on the internal bus interface, the same data issues on the PCI bus with either

bad parity or uncorrectable ECC error. For inbound transactions the bad parity or

uncorrectable ECC errors results in the ATU marking that data bad by corrupting the

parity on the internal bus.

2.6.4.1

Parity Generation

Data parity signals include byte enables in the calculation.

Table 17

lists the data bits

that are used for the parity calculation. The parity bits are calculated by bit XORing the

data bits as shown in

Table 17

. As an example, the parity calculation for the lowest

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

Equation 5. D_PARITY0 = 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]
