In addition to the reporting provided by a DMA channel, the participating Master also reports the error.
See
4.6.1
PCI Error Bits
The error bits for PCI-1 and PCI-2 are set when the corresponding PowerSpan II PCI Master
encounters one of the following conditions while servicing a DMA channel:
•
Master-Abort
•
Target-Abort
•
Maximum retry limit is reached
4.6.2
Processor Bus Error Bit
The error bit for the processor bus is set if the PowerSpan II PB Master encounters one of the following
conditions while servicing a DMA channel:
•
Assertion of PB_TEA_
•
Maximum retry limit is reached
4.6.3
Source Port Errors
When an error occurs on the source port, transactions initiated by the source port are terminated. Any
source data buffered in the PowerSpan II is written to the destination port and the appropriate
DMAx_GCSR error bit is set.
Due to the pipelined nature of DMA channel requests, additional Source port transaction activity may
occur until all outstanding channel requests are completed.
4.6.4
Destination Port Errors
When an error occurs on the destination port transactions associated with any buffered data are
terminated, and the appropriate DMAx_GCSR error bit is set.
Due to the pipelined nature of DMA channel requests, additional destination port transaction activity
can occur until all outstanding channel requests are completed.
The occurrence of data parity error does not affect DMA channel behavior but is captured by
the appropriate interface.
