Testing Error Detection and Correction
|

|
|
######################################

|
Tests verify API and use error injection method to inject
|
||
|
|
errors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Prerequisites
|
||
|
|
*************
|
||
|
|
IBECC should be enabled in BIOS. This is usually enabled in the default
|
||
|
|
BIOS configuration. Verify following:
|
||
|
|
Intel Advanced Menu -> Memory Configuration -> In-Band ECC -> <Enabled>.
|
||
|
|
Verify also operational mode with:
|
||
|
|
Intel Advanced Menu -> Memory Configuration -> In-Band ECC Operation Mode -> 2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For injection test Error Injection should be enabled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Error Injection
|
||
|
|
===============
|
||
|
|
IBECC includes a feature to ease the verification effort such as Error
|
||
|
|
Injection capability. This helps to test the error checking, logging and
|
||
|
|
reporting mechanism within IBECC.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to use Error Injection user need to use BIOS Boot Guard 0 profile.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally Error Injection need to be enabled in the following BIOS menu:
|
||
|
|
Intel Advanced Menu -> Memory Configuration -> In-Band ECC Error -> <Enabled>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configurations
|
||
|
|
**************
|
||
|
|
Due to high security risk Error Injection capability should not be
|
||
|
|
enabled for production. Due to this reason test has production configuration
|
||
|
|
and debug configuration. The main difference is that debug configuration
|
||
|
|
includes Error Injection.
