Abstract
A data processing system and methods for operating the same are disclosed. The method includes detecting a fault by comparing output signals from a first processing core and a second processing core, entering a safe mode based upon detecting the fault, completing transactions while in the safe mode, and determining whether the fault corresponds to a hard error. Based upon the fault corresponding to a hard error, one of processing cores is identified as a faulty core. The faulty core is inhibited from executing instructions and the other processing core is allowed to execute instructions.
