11. Error Handling
•
Bits <19:16> and <15:0> contain the tag and data parity syndromes
respectively. Syndrome bits are endian-neutral, that is, bit 0 corresponds to
bits<7:0> of the E-Cache data bus (that is, bytes whose least significant four
address bits are F
16
). The syndrome fields have the status of the first
occurrence of the highest priority error related to that field. If no status bit is
set corresponding to that field, the contents of the syndrome field will be zero.
The AFSR must be cleared by software explicitly; it is not cleared automatically
during a read. Writes to the AFSR sticky bits (<32:20>) with particular bits set
will clear the corresponding bits in the AFSR. Bits associated with disrupting
traps must be cleared before reenabling interrupts to prevent multiple traps for
the same error. Writes to the AFSR sticky bits with particular bits clear will not af-
fect the corresponding bits in the AFSR. If software attempts to clear error bits at
the same time as an error occurs, the clear will be performed before logging the
new error status. The syndrome field is read only and writes to this field are ig-
nored.
Refer to Table 10-1, “Machine State After Reset and in RED_state,” on page 172
for the state of this register after reset.
