12.1.3 ECC/Parity Mode

ECC/parity mode is a subset of write-through mode with some connection changes that allow the L2 cache

to support ECC or Parity. The connection changes are:

The PowerQUICC II’s DP[0:7] signals are connected to the L2 cache’s DP[0:7] signals.

The L2’s TSIZ[0:2] signals are pulled down to always indicate 8-byte transaction size.

The L2’s A[29:31] signals are pulled down.
