Event Management Overview
Event management consists of four distinct steps. These steps can also be followed when designing the error management
system:
1. Event Detection – Which events should be detected, and what information should be captured for each event.
2. Event Notification – What notification function (interrupts, port-writes, none) should be triggered when an event is detected.
3. Isolation/automatic reactions to events – How can the CPS-1848 prevent the event from impacting the remainder of the
system.
4. Event Recovery/Clearing events – How to determine what event occurred, how to clear the event, how to recover from the
event.
The CPS-1848 can detect a large number of events. Many events related to RapidIO protocol errors are always detected.
Other events are detected only when the CPS-1848 is configured to do so. Detected events may cause the capture of related
information.

control values for individual events. The diagram shows the relationship of control values for event reporting.
