Abstract
One embodiment describes a method for real time error correction in a data transmission system that includes receiving a first communication signal on a first programmable logic device from a second programmable logic device via a first serial link, receiving a second communication signal on the first programmable logic device from the second programmable logic device via a second serial link, in which the first serial link and the second serial link are disposed in parallel with each other and are configured to communicate over a single conduit, and the first communication signal and the second communication signal are representative of identical information. The method further includes comparing the first communication signal and the second communication signal in the first programmable logic device to detect an error in data in the first communication signal, the second communication signal, or both, and when the error is detected, correcting the error in real time in the first programmable logic device based at least in part on the comparison of the first communication signal and the second communication signal.
