® Hardware Design Guidelines—Intel IXP43X Product Line of Network Processors The memory controller only corrects single bit ECC errors on read cycles. The ECC is stored into the DDRII/DDRI SDRAM array along with the data and is checked when the data is read. If the code is incorrect, the MCU corrects the data before reaching the initiator of the read. ECC error scrubbing is done with software. User-defined fault correction software is responsible for The value written back into the memory lo
