625 SB-RMI Writes May Not Be Observed by Processor
Description
After a write using the APML SB-RMI interface to either the Inbound Message Registers
(SBRMI_x3[F:8]) or Software Interrupt Register (SBRMI_x40), the processor may observe the
previous contents (as if the write did not occur) when reading these same registers using the SBI
Address/Data registers (F3x1E8 and F3x1EC). The conditions under which this erratum may occur
requires that message-triggered C1E is enabled (F3xD4[13] = 1b, Clock Power/Timing Control
0[MTC1eEn]). The functionality of the SB-RMI interface is not otherwise affected.
Potential Effect on System
Software running on the processor is not able to properly receive messages from system management
software using the SB-RMI interface.
Suggested Workaround
None. In the event that system management software needs to communicate with software running on
the processor, an alternative mechanism should be used.
Fix Planned
No
