NHET RAM Parity Check when CPU Read but NHET doesn't execute the instruction

Pashan

Hello,

I find the following statement in the TRM for TMS570 within the section [18.4.2.3 Parity Checking]:

"The parity check is performed when the NHET execution unit makes a read access to NHET RAM, but also when a different master (e.g. CPU, HTU, DMA,...) performs the read access."

I am trying to check Parity Error feature while CPU is READing NHET RAM with Parity Error. It doesn't occur. But when NHET READ the same NHET RAM location, Parity Error does occur.

Can anyone tell me, if that is the expected behaviour as it doesn't match the line from the TRM as shown above?

Thank you.

Regards

Sorry for this (much) belated answer. Just checked this again w. the NHET designer since we want to clarify the TRM.

Parity is checked when the CPU, HET, and HTU access the NHET/N2HET RAM.

However, if you try reading the RAM just through a window in CCS, the CPU access will be marked as a debug access.

Debug accesses do not trigger a parity check.
