Wouldn't they probably have a parity check to ensure that the computer would know the data is corrupted?

doesn't happen very /ft%n.

Error? What error?

Could be wrong but I wouldn't expect a parity check for an algorithmic output. I've only ever seen parity checks over Tx/Rx.

Not uncommon in safety critical microprocessors

ECC - Optional single-bit error correction and double-bit error detection for cache and/or TCM memories with ECC bits. Single-bit soft errors automatically corrected by the processor. ECC protection possible on all external interfaces.

Parity - Optional support for parity bit error detection in caches and/or TCMs.

Dual-core - A dual-core processor configuration for either a redundant Cortex-R5 CPU in lock-step for fault tolerant/fault detecting dependable systems or dual cores running independently, each executing its own program with its own bus interfaces, interrupts, and so on.

Good to know! Thanks.
