-Overview
-========
-
-The overall usage pattern for ECC diagnostic commands is the following:
-
- * (injecting errors is initially disabled)
-
- * define inject mask (which tells the DDR controller what type of errors
- we'll be injecting: single/multiple bit etc.)
-
- * enable injecting errors - from now on the controller injects errors as
- indicated in the inject mask
-
-IMPORTANT NOTICE: enabling injecting multiple-bit errors is potentially
-dangerous as such errors are NOT corrected by the controller. Therefore caution
-should be taken when enabling the injection of multiple-bit errors: it is only
-safe when used on a carefully selected memory area and used under control of
-the 'ecc test' command (see example 'Injecting Multiple-Bit Errors' below). In
-particular, when you simply set the multiple-bit errors in inject mask and
-enable injection, U-Boot is very likely to hang quickly as the errors will be
-injected when it accesses its code, data etc.
-
-
-Use cases for DDR 'ecc' command:
-================================
-
-Before executing particular tests reset target board or clear status registers:
-
-=> ecc captureclear
-=> ecc errdetectclr all
-=> ecc sbecnt 0
-
-
-Injecting Single-Bit Errors
----------------------------
-
-1. Set 1 bit in Data Path Error Inject Mask
-
-=> ecc injectdatahi 1
-
-2. Run test over some memory region
-
-=> ecc test 200000 10
-
-3. Check ECC status
-
-=> ecc status
-...
-Memory Data Path Error Injection Mask High/Low: 00000001 00000000
-...
-Memory Single-Bit Error Management (0..255):
- Single-Bit Error Threshold: 255
- Single Bit Error Counter: 16
-...
-Memory Error Detect:
- Multiple Memory Errors: 0
- Multiple-Bit Error: 0
- Single-Bit Error: 0
-...
-
-16 errors were generated, Single-Bit Error flag was not set as Single Bit Error
-Counter did not reach Single-Bit Error Threshold.
-
-4. Make sure used memory region got re-initialized with 0xcafecafe pattern
-
-=> md 200000
-00200000: cafecafe cafecafe cafecafe cafecafe ................
-00200010: cafecafe cafecafe cafecafe cafecafe ................

-
-Injecting Multiple-Bit Errors
------------------------------
-
-1. Set more than 1 bit in Data Path Error Inject Mask
-
-=> ecc injectdatahi 5
-
-2. Run test over some memory region
-
-=> ecc test 200000 10
-
-3. Check ECC status
-
-=> ecc status
-...
-Memory Data Path Error Injection Mask High/Low: 00000005 00000000
-...
-Memory Error Detect:
- Multiple Memory Errors: 1
- Multiple-Bit Error: 1
- Single-Bit Error: 0
-...
-
-Observe that both Multiple Memory Errors and Multiple-Bit Error flags are set.
-
-4. Make sure used memory region got re-initialized with 0xcafecafe pattern
-
-=> md 200000
-00200000: cafecafe cafecafe cafecafe cafecafe ................
-00200010: cafecafe cafecafe cafecafe cafecafe ................
-00200020: cafecafe cafecafe cafecafe cafecafe ................

-Test Single-Bit Error Counter and Threshold
--------------------------------------------
-
-1. Set 1 bit in Data Path Error Inject Mask
-
-=> ecc injectdatahi 1
-
-2. Enable error injection
-
-=> ecc inject en
-
-3. Let u-boot run for a with Single-Bit error injection enabled
-
-4. Disable error injection
-
-=> ecc inject dis
-
-4. Check status
-
-=> ecc status
-
-...
-Memory Single-Bit Error Management (0..255):
- Single-Bit Error Threshold: 255
- Single Bit Error Counter: 60
-
-Memory Error Detect:
- Multiple Memory Errors: 1
- Multiple-Bit Error: 0
- Single-Bit Error: 1
-...
-
-Observe that Single-Bit Error is 'on' which means that Single-Bit Error Counter
-reached Single-Bit Error Threshold. Multiple Memory Errors bit is also 'on', that
-is Counter reached Threshold more than one time (it wraps back after reaching
-Threshold).
