  • EMBEDDED CONTROLLER AND MEMORY TO STORE MEMORY ERROR INFORMATION
    Publication number: 20220350500
    Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a processor. The processor includes a memory controller to read and write from a memory. The memory controller includes error correction coding (ECC) circuitry to correct errors in data read from the memory. The processor includes register space to track read data error information. The processor includes an embedded controller. The processor includes local memory coupled to the embedded controller. The embedded controller is to read the read data error information and store the read data error information in the local memory.
