Abstract
A hybrid approach using hardware and software is used for report management in peripheral component interconnect (PCI) express devices. The device hardware detects an error associated with a transaction with a host computer. The device software identifies a function associated with the error and determines various attributes of the error. The device software then exposes the attributes of the error in the PCI express and the advanced error reporting (AER) capabilities. The error can be reported in a message transaction to the host computer.
