• BC_TAG holds results of external cache tag probe if external cache was enabled<br />

for this transaction<br />

C.8.1.2 BIU: tag address parity error<br />

• recognized at end of tag probe sequence<br />

• lookup uses predicted parity so transaction misses the external cache<br />

• BC_TAG holds results of external cache tag probe<br />

• machine check if enabled by ABOX_CTL[MCHK_EN]<br />

• BIU_STAT: BC_TPERR set<br />

• BIU_ADDR holds address<br />

C.8.1.3 BIU: tag control parity error<br />

• recognized at end of tag probe sequence<br />

• transaction forced to miss external cache<br />

• BC_TAG holds results of external cache tag probe<br />

• machine check if enabled by ABOX_CTL[MCHK_EN]<br />

• BIU_STAT: BC_TCPERR set<br />

• BIU_ADDR holds address<br />

C.8.1.4 BIU: system transaction terminated with CACK_HERR<br />

• machine check if enabled by ABOX_CTL[MCHK_EN]<br />

• BIU_STAT: BIU_HERR set, BIU_CMD holds cReq_h[2..0]<br />

• BIU_ADDR holds address<br />

C.8.2 Response to Multiple Errors<br />

This section describes the 21064’s response to multiple hardware errors, that is, to<br />

errors which occur after an initial error and before execution of the PALcode exception<br />

handler associated with that initial error.<br />

The 21064 error reporting hardware consists of two sets of independent error reporting<br />

registers.<br />

• BIU_STAT[7..0] and BIU_ADDR contain information about the following hardware<br />

errors:<br />

• Correctable or uncorrectable errors reported with CAck_h[2..0] by system<br />

components<br />

• Tag probe parity errors in the tag address or tag control fields<br />

• BIU_STAT[14..8], FILL_ADDR and FILL_SYNDROME contain error information<br />

about data fill errors.<br />
