Abstract

See full text

A hub device, memory system, and method for providing a cascade interconnect memory system with enhanced reliability. The hub device includes an interface to a high-speed bus for communicating with a memory controller. The memory controller and the hub device are included in a cascade interconnect memory system and the high-speed bus includes bit lanes and one or more clock lanes. The hub device also includes a bi-directional fault signal line in communication with the memory controller and readable by a service interface. The hub device also includes a fault isolation register (FIR) for storing information about failures detected at the hub device, the information including severity levels of the detected failures. In addition, the hub device includes error recovery logic for responding to a failure detected at the hub device.
