描述

The SEM IP error injection capability is a useful feature that enables hardware-based evaluation of the SEM IP functionality, enables testing to confirm that the IP has been integrated into the larger design as intended, and enables testing of the larger design as intended.

When performing error injection into the configuration memory, Xilinx recommends following the guidance in (Xilinx Answer 61241) Soft Error Mitigation IP Guidance for testing with error injection.

解决方案

For Spartan-6 devices, the range of valid LFA for error injection and detection is from LFA 0000000 to LFA Maximum Frame (MF).

The maximum Frame value for the target device is available by using the "Status Report" command with the monitor interface.

The values are also available in the tables below.

According to which GT are used in the design, start address or max address range is set differently at time of SEM IP generation.

Error injection should also be limited to the same range as IP is configured to scan for errors.
