Occurrence of DRAM ECC errors in arria10 SX660 - not consistent

Boot
1

Hi,

I’m working on Arria10 SX660 based custom board with 2GB DDR with ECC enabled.
The board is up and and everything works fine.

When tested multiple times, we are observing the ECC errors SBE or DBE.

SBE is handled by correcting the bit, DBE is resetting the board.

Below is the DBE error which occurs randomly, may be one out of ten times boot in many boards.

resetting …

What could make this DBE to happen randomly in our board.
Do we have any patch for this issue? Is it because of software or hardware? Any help or inputs is appreciated.

Thanks You.

Did you able to solve this issue ?
if so, what is the resolution for this issue.

We are also facing same issue with arria10 boards.

Thanks and regards

We are receiving the same error (ECC DBE) on our new Arria 10 boards that have a new DDR4 memory device (changed to faster speed grade device due to EOL on the slower DDR4 device). It passes calibration every time, and everything looks good in the EMIF debug toolkit as well. I know this thread is old, but was there any resolution to this?
Thank you.
