Abstract
A solution is proposed for error processing, wherein n byte error positions of n byte errors are predefined (where n is a positive integer), wherein this involves determining whether there is a further byte error position on the basis of the n byte error positions and on the basis of n+1 error syndrome components of a first error code.
Claims15
A method for error processing,
- reading a plurality of bytes from a memory;
- wherein n byte error positions of n byte errors are predetermined, wherein n is a positive integer,
- which method involves determining whether there is a further byte error position on the basis of the n byte error positions and on the basis of n+1 error syndrome components of a first error code, and
- in the event of determining a further byte error position,
- (a) correcting a byte of the plurality of bytes read from the memory at the further byte error position and/or
- (b) outputting the further byte error position.
3 more elements
The memory circuit comprising:
- a memory for storing a plurality of memory bytes, and
- a device for error processing, which is configured to determine whether there is a further byte error position on the basis of n byte error positions and on the basis of n+1 error syndrome components of a first error code, wherein the n byte error positions of n byte errors are predefined and wherein n is a positive integer.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:
- store a plurality of memory bytes;
- and
- determine whether there is a further byte error position on a basis of n byte error positions and on a basis of n+1 error syndrome components of a first error code, wherein the n byte error positions of the n byte errors are predefined and wherein n is a positive integer.
