These pins can be directly connected to input pins on the Tsi308 interrupt controller or to an
external interrupt controller. They are active-low, open drain outputs, which allows the pins to
be wire-ORedwith other interrupt sources. They also provide edge-triggered interrupts, pulsing
when an error is detected. Only in Tsi301 mode the SerrEn bit in the Command CSR serves as a
master enable for the error interrupts, in addition to the enables for individual error conditions.
Assertion of either error interrupt sets the SigdSerr bit in the Status CSR.
The HyperTransport transmitters can flood the link with synchronization packets. These
propagate along the length of the chain and are detected by the host bridge. The host bridge is
then responsible for taking appropriate action. The link has to pass through a warm reset
sequence before it can be re-enabled, and all transactions in progress are lost. This option is only
available for catastrophic
HyperTransport errors that render the chain untrustworthy. Any error that causes sync flooding
also sets the LinkFail bit in the HyperTransport Link 0/1 Control CSR for the link on which the
error was detected. The setting of LinkFail will cause that link to not be re-initialized on the next
warm reset event. The SigdSerr bit in the Status CSR is also set.

HyperTransport Errors
2.10.2.1
Link Errors
HyperTransport link errors are detectable at the lowest levels of the HyperTransport protocol
and indicate a basic failing of the HyperTransport link. These errors are not localizable to
individual transactions, and all can bring down the link through sync flooding.
CRC is checked by all of the HyperTransport link receivers in accordance with the
HyperTransport specification.
Basic protocol checks are performed for proper switching of the CTL signal and legal command
encodings. An overflow error is detected if the HyperTransport flow control mechanism breaks
down and packets are received with no space for them in the Rx buffers.
indicates the CSR bits used to log and enable reporting of each HyperTransport link
error type.
