Reading CAUSE returns the channel number that caused the Error Controller Reset. This bit field may report a channel configured to CRITICAL severity or a channel configured to NONCRITICAL severity escalated to CRITICAL due to a timeout from the timeout counter.

This register is reset only by a Power-On Reset (POR); other types of system reset have no effect.
