For ZynqMP

Injecting ECC Errors for ZynqMP DDRC Controller
The following sysfs entries supports injecting ecc errors
-> /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_data_poison (to enable CE/UE)
-> /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_data_error (to specify address)
 
Enable the CE/UE errors
-> echo "CE" > /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_data_poison
 
the above command enables Correctable error injection
-> echo "UE" > /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_data_poison
the above command enables UnCorrectable error injection
 
 
Select the address to inject ECC Errors
-> echo 0x7EE0EEE0 > /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_data_error
 
The above command configures Data poison registers to inject errors at the address specified
As per DDRC ZynqMP controller spec, when ever a write operation detected on the address specified, it injects errors to that location
and it will report the errors back, when a read operation is performed
So write some data to the address specified
-> devmem 0x7EE0EEE0 32 0x1234
 
with the above command, the controller corrupts the data at that address
try reading the data from that address
-> devmem 0x7EE0EEE0
