Abstract
A new method and apparatus have been taught for storing error information used for debugging as generated by the initial and subsequent error occurrences. In this invention, a register with several bit ranges is used to store error information. The first bit-range is allocated to the initial error information. If the total number of the errors exceeds the capacity of the register, the last error is kept in a last bit-range. This way, precious initial error information (as well as the last error information) will be available for debugging.
