Abstract
An electronic system includes a counter and a first component. The first component includes a reset input configured to receive a reset event, an interface to a communications interface coupleable to a second component, an error detection module configured to initiate the counter in response to detecting an error in a first communication from the second component, and an event logging module. The event logging module is configured to store a first indicator representative of the counter value of the counter in response to receiving the reset event via the reset input and configured to store a second indicator representative of the error at the communications interface. The counter is initiated at the first component in response to detecting an error in a first communication from the second component. A counter value of the counter is determined in response to detecting a reset event at the first component subsequent to detecting the error in the first communication. A first indicator representative of the counter value and a second indicator representative of the error in the first communication is stored at the electronic system.
