Table 53 Error Recovery Control command (Onputs)
The Error Recovery Control command can be used to set time limits for read and write error recovery. For
non-queued commands, these timers apply to command completion at the host interface. For queued
commands where in order data delivery is enabled, these timers begin counting when the device begins to
execute the command, not when the command is sent to the device. These timers do not apply to streaming
commands, or to queued commands when out-of-order data delivery is enabled.
These command timers are volatile. The default value is 0 (i.e. disable command time-out).
