The Cortex-R5F processor supports error checking and correction (ECC) schemes of data. The data has similar properties although the size of the data chunk to which the ECC scheme applies is different.

For each aligned data chunk, the processor computes and stores a number of redundant code bits with the data. This enables the processor to detect up to two errors in the data chunk or its code bits, and correct any single error in the data chunk or its associated code bits. This is also referred to as a single-error correction, double-error detection (SEC-DED) ECC scheme.
