15.4.4 Interrupt Vector Table Parity Testing
To test the parity checking mechanism, the parity RAM allows manual insertion of faults. This option is
implemented by the test bit in the PARCTL register. Once the bit is set, the parity bits are mapped to
0xFFF82400. After that, user can force faults into the parity bits. Finally, the parity error can be triggered
by reading interrupt vector table (not parity bit) from VIM or CPU.
The interrupt vector table parity can also be verified by inserting faults into interrupt vector table. Once the
VIM parity is disabled in system module, user can modify interrupt vector table without impacting the parity
bit. After user re-enable interrupt vector table parity, the parity error can be triggered by reading interrupt
vector table from VIM or CPU.
