Abstract
Address verification on a bus, the bus connecting a plurality of receiving bus nodes and one or more sending bus nodes, the bus providing communication among the bus nodes, including: receiving, by a receiving bus node over the bus, a parity signal and an address signal, the address signal identifying an address of a target receiving bus node; determining, by the receiving bus node, whether the address of the target receiving bus node matches an address of the receiving bus node; responsive to determining that the address of the target receiving bus node matches the address of the receiving bus node, determining, by the receiving bus node, whether the parity signal is an expected parity signal; and responsive to determining that the parity signal is not the expected parity signal, suppressing, by the receiving bus node, an acknowledgment of receipt of the address signal.
