ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method and apparatus for generating a signature signal which indicates a probable location for an error-causing mechanism within a digital system, where the digital system has control-signal and data-signal carrying busses and error detection means for detecting error conditions in the signals carried by those busses. The signature generating method comprises the steps of: counting the total number of errors detected by the error detection means during a signature generating run; and counting the number of errors detected by the error detection means during a signature generating run where those errors were accompanied by the presence of accompanying signals on the signal-carrying busses, the accompanying signals being ones which belong to a predefined subset of all signals appearing on the system signal-carrying busses.
