4.8 Error Handling Registers

Chapter 13, "Error Handling," describes specific error conditions and how the MPC8240
responds to them. The registers at offsets 0xB8, 0xB9, and 0xC0 through 0xCB control the
error handling and reporting for the MPC8240. The following sections provide descriptions
of these registers.

4.8.1 ECC Single-Bit Error Registers

The ECC single-bit error registers are two 8-bit registers used to control the reporting of
ECC single-bit errors. See Chapter 13, "Error Handling," for more information. The ECC
single-bit error counter, shown in Figure 4-19, maintains a count of the number of single-bit
errors that have been detected. It is a read/write register that is cleared to 0x00 whenever
any data is written to it.

Table 4-28 describes the bits of the ECC single-bit error counter.

7–0 ECC single-bit error
counter
The ECC single-bit error trigger, shown in Figure 4-20, provides a threshold value that,
when equal to the single-bit error count, triggers the MPC8240 error reporting logic.

Value
All 0s These bits maintain a count of the number of ECC single-bit errors that have
been detected and corrected. If this value equals the value contained in the
ECC single-bit error trigger register, then an error is reported (provided
ErrEnR1[2] = 1).
