2.12 Validation and Debug Considerations

After deployment, system-level validation is recommended to confirm proper ECC operation.

Typical validation activities include:

  • Single-bit error correction verification
  • Double-bit error detection verification
  • ECC fault injection testing
  • ESM event validation

For detailed ECC verification procedures, refer to the DDR Inline ECC Error Injection and Validation Guide for Jacinto™ 7 and Sitara™ Processors application note.

For runtime error analysis and syndrome interpretation, refer to the DDR Inline ECC Error Address Decoding on Jacinto™ 7 and Sitara™ Processors application note.
