Paragraph Number

137

If the ECC decoder 322 determines that the requested packets contains more bits in error than the ECC can correct, the ECC decoder 322 cannot correct the errors in the corrupted ECC blocks of the requested packet and sends an interrupt. In one embodiment, the ECC decoder 322 sends an interrupt with a message indicating that the requested packet is in error. The message may include information that the ECC decoder 322 cannot correct the errors or the inability of the ECC decoder 322 to correct the errors may be implied. In another embodiment, the ECC decoder 322 sends the corrupted ECC blocks of the requested packet with the interrupt and/or the message.
