  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ERROR RECOVERY OF A HARDWARE DEVICE
    Publication number: 20080209254
    Abstract: A method and system for error recovery of a hardware device is provided. The method includes detecting a target hard error indication from the hardware device by comparing the hard error indication to signatures of hard error indications which indicate a temporary failing and modifying the reported error to a stalling indication. The hardware device is allowed to recover in a predefined time period or by issuing one or more resets, or both. A hard error indication usually instigates an external error recovery of the hardware device and the method temporarily stalls such external error recovery.
