7.1.6 Error Status Registers

The LM94 contains several error status registers for the BMC side, and duplicated error status registers for the Host side. These registers are used to reflect the state of all the possible error conditions that the LM94 monitors.

The BMC/Host Error Status registers hold a set bit until the event is cleared by software, even if the condition causing the error event goes away.

To clear a bit in the Error Status registers, a ‘1’ has to be written to the specific bit that is required to be cleared. If the event that caused the error is no longer active then the bit is cleared.

Clearing a bit in a BMC Error Status register does not clear the corresponding bit in the Host Error Status register or vise versa.
