In sas2r04 spec page 103, it states the following events should use the saturating counters

 

Phys shall count the following events using saturating counters and report them in the Protocol-Specific Port

log page (see 10.2.8.1) and/or the SMP REPORT PHY ERROR LOG function (see 10.4.3.6):

a) invalid dwords received;

b) dwords received with running disparity errors;

c) loss of dword synchronization; and

d) phy reset problems.

 

However, on p.104, table 24, these 4-events are using counter type “wrapping counter”

 

Thus, which type of counter we should use?

Thx
