Description-en: report kernel-detected PCI and ECC RAM errors
This package contains the user-space utilities for use with the EDAC
kernel subsystem. EDAC (Error Detection and Correction) is a set of
Linux kernel modules for handling hardware-related errors. Currently
its major focus is ECC memory error handling. However it also detects
and reports PCI bus parity errors.
.
PCI parity errors are supported on all architectures (and are a
mandatory part of the PCI specification).
.
Main memory ECC drivers are memory controller specific. At the time
of writing, drivers exist for many x86-specific chipsets and CPUs,
and some PowerPC, and MIPS systems.
.
This package provides command lines tools
