Erasure correction for ECC entities

摘要

A method of determining error values including loading an error correction code (ECC) entity having rows representing data symbols, determining an error location for a first row, generating an error syndrome for the first row, determining an erasure constant array from the error location, determining an error location for each of the remaining rows, generating an error syndrome for each of the remaining rows and determining the error values for each of the rows from the corresponding error location and corresponding error syndrome and the constant.
