Host can acquire the fault status with the following two methods:
- Host ignores NFAULT pin, constantly polls the FAULT_SUMMARY register of each device. If FAULT_SUMMARY is non-zero, read the low level fault status registers to obtain more information.
- Host monitors NFAULT pin status. Enable fault status to pass down the daisy chain to bridge device. Enable bridge device’s NFAULT pin to be asserted when the FAULT_SUMMARY is non-zero. When NFAULT is triggered, host polls fault information to diagnose further.
