Error Rate Thresholds
There are two event thresholds in the Tsi574: the Error Rate Failed Threshold Reached and the Error
Rate Degraded Threshold Reached. These events notify the system that errors are occurring on a
RapidIO interface at a rate that requires special attention.
The error rate detection threshold function works as follows:
•
Each RapidIO port maintains a single error counter that is incremented each time one of the
RapidIO errors is encountered (see
)
— The port’s hardware can be configured to automatically decrement this counter. The rate at
which the counter is decremented is configurable through the
.
•
There are two thresholds configured per port on the Tsi574: Error Rate Failed Threshold Reached
and the Error Rate Degraded Threshold Reached. These thresholds specify the counter level at
which the port is considered either degraded or failed.
Control
Symbol Not
Accepted
Error
This event is raised when a RapidIO port receives a
“Packet-Not-Accepted” Control Symbol.
The status of this event is contained in the CS_NOT_ACC
bit of the
“RapidIO Port x Error Detect CSR” on page 286
RapidIO Yes

Error
This event is raised when a RapidIO port receives a packet
with a CRC error.
The status of this event is contained in the PKT_CRC_ERR
bit of the
“RapidIO Port x Error Detect CSR” on page 286

Multicast
Latency
Exceeded
Error
This event occurs when a multicast request for a particular
port cannot be transmitted in the time specified by the RIO
Multicast Latency Timer. This results in the MC_LAT being
set in the Global Interrupt Status Register. The port does
not receive multicast requests unless or until the
appropriate error bit in the
Latency Counter CSR” on page 384
is cleared.
