Signal Descriptions
While not shown precisely in the block diagram, five external signal pins are associated 
with this portion of the SoC. See 
Chapter 31, “Signal Names and Descriptions”
 for 
additional details.
The signal description table has the following headings:
• Signal Name: The signal/pin name
• Direction: The buffer direction is either input, output, or I/O (bi-directional)
• Type: The buffer type
• Description: A brief explanation of the signal function

Features
• SoC System Agent (SSA) using the Pondicherry Intra-Die-Interconnect (IDI)
— IDI is the standard interface between the caching agents of the core units and 
the SSA in the Pondicherry architecture.
• 36-bit physical memory-space addressing (64 GB)
• Patrol scrub engine that performs a memory scrub to fix correctable memory errors 
in the background
• Robust  RAS
• Internal Root Complex Event Collector (RCEC) for PCI Express* and local error 
escalation
• PCI Express Advanced Error Reporting (AER) support
• MSI signaling
• INTx signaling
• Internal command and data path parity coverage (single bit each)
• Internal RAM parity coverage

Description
O
Error (active low)
Detected errors are indicated to the external circuitry.
The platform board must ignore these SoC output signals while 
PMU_PLTRST_B (active-low SoC output) is asserted.
These signals are muxed and are used by other functions.
O
Machine Check Error (active low)
Detected machine check errors (machine check exceptions) are 
indicated to the external circuitry.
The platform board must ignore this SoC output signal while 
PMU_PLTRST_B (active-low SoC output) is asserted.
These signals are muxed and are used by other functions.
O
Internal Error (active low)
Detected unrecoverable internal errors are indicated to the external 
circuitry.
The platform board must ignore this SoC output signal while 
PMU_PLTRST_B (active-low SoC output) is asserted.
These signals are muxed and are used by other functions.
