Octet Alignment (ALIGN)
Error
In the case of an Octet Alignment (ALIGN) error, the HDLC message size after
0-bit extraction is not a multiple of 8 bits.
Reasons:
•
•
Bit errors during transmission.
Incorrect transmission of HDLC messages from the distant end.
Effects:
•
The Interrupt Descriptor in Interrupt Queue with ERROR = ALIGN,
DIR = 0 (if MSKMSG = 0 in Receive Channel Configuration Descriptor).
The entire HDLC message is transferred to shared memory.
DMAC accesses the Next Message Pointer from the current Message
Descriptor.
•
•
•
Returns ownership of the current Message Descriptor to the host by
writing the Receive Buffer Status Descriptor with ONR = HOST,
ERROR = ALIGN (if INHRBSD = 0 in Receive Channel Configuration
Descriptor).
•
•
The BLP scans for the opening flag of the next HDLC message.
Simultaneously, DMAC checks for Message Descriptor ownership before
transferring received data to shared memory.
Channel Level Recovery Actions:
None required.
•
Abort Termination (ABT)
In the case of an Abort Termination (ABT) error, the receiver detects an abort
sequence from the distant end. An abort sequence is defined as 0 followed by 7
consecutive 1s.
Reason:
•
The distant end can not complete transmission of HDLC message.
Effects:
•
The Interrupt Descriptor in Interrupt Queue with ERROR = ABT, DIR = 0
(if MSKMSG = 0 in Receive Channel Configuration Descriptor).
Partial HDLC message is transferred to shared memory.
DMAC accesses the Next Message Pointer from the current Message
Descriptor.
•
•
•
Returns ownership of the current Message Descriptor to the host by
writing the Receive Buffer Status Descriptor with ONR = HOST,
ERROR = ABT (if INHRBSD = 0 in Receive Channel Configuration
Descriptor).
•
•
The BLP scans for the opening flag of the next HDLC message.
Simultaneously, DMAC checks for Message Descriptor ownership before
transferring received data to shared memory.
Channel Level Recovery Actions:
None required.
