Summary of Error Logging and Reporting
The actions taken by a function when an error is detected is governed by the type of error and the settings of the error-related configuration registers. The specification includes the flow chart in Figure 10-24 on page 393 that specifies the actions taken by a device upon detecting an error. This flow chart presumes that PCI Express compatible software is being used and does not cover the case of error handling when only legacy PCI software is used.
