TMS570LC4357: Generating ECC Errors Outside Diagnostic Mode

Part Number: TMS570LC4357

Tool/software:

Is it possible to generate or induce ECC errors in a non-diagnostic mode (during normal operation)? I 'm aware of the diagnostic mode but I'm trying to generate an interrupt that will lead to a reset. Tried with corrupting ECC values in DCAN1 RAM without entering diagnostic mode without results. No related information found, only self-tests related info which means diagnostic mode by default.

  • Hi Yvonne Saabbagh,

    No, it is not possible in outside the diagnostic mode, until unless the memory really corrupted.

    I mean if we try to manipulate any bits in memory outside the diagnostic mode, then the corresponding ECC section will also be updated with the new ECC value for corresponding new data. So, we never end up with ECC errors.

    Maybe for flash at least you can try below method,

    You can disable Auto ECC generation option, and then you can program the code into the memory this should create the Flash uncorrectable ECC errors. I think for RAM it is not possible.
