ECC Codes

When the Falcon reports a single-bit error, software can use the syndrome that was logged by the Falcon (upper or lower depending where the error occurred) to determine which bit was in error. Table 3-20shows the syndrome for each possible single bit error. Table 3-21shows the same information ordered by syndrome. In order to relate this information to PowerPC addresses and bit numbers, the user needs to understand how the Falcon pair positions PowerPC data in DRAM. See the section on Data Paths for an explanation of this.

Note that these tables are the same whether the Falcon is configured as upper or as lower device.
