Abstract
Systems and methods that implement communication of error information on a bus, including a bus having a small number of pins are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an interface circuit configured to couple to a bus and one or more sideband signals. The sideband signals may be used to communicate error information such as parity information for a bus that does not otherwise have this capability. In some embodiments, parity information may be driven on the bus during a portion of a bus transaction corresponding to unused address bits.
