4.10.3 ECC Protection for Flash Accesses
All accesses to the program flash memory are protected by Single Error Correction Double Error Detection
(SECDED) logic embedded inside the CPU. The flash module provides 8 bits of ECC code for 64 bits of
instructions or data fetched from the flash memory. The CPU calculates the expected ECC code based on
the 64 bits received and compares it with the ECC code returned by the flash module. A signle-bit error is
corrected and flagged by the CPU, while a multi-bit error is only flagged. The CPU signals an ECC error
via its Event bus. This signaling mechanism is not enabled by default and must be enabled by setting the
"X" bit of the Performance Monitor Control Register, c9.

The application must also explicitly enable the CPU's ECC checking for accesses on the CPU's ATCM
and BTCM interfaces. These are connected to the program flash and data RAM respectively. ECC
checking for these interfaces can be done by setting the B1TCMPCEN, B0TCMPCEN and ATCMPCEN
bits of the System Control coprocessor's Auxiliary Control Register, c1.
