You have to go pretty far down the rabbit hole to make sure you’ve actually got ECC with [LP]DDR5
Some vendors use hamming codes with “holes” in them, and you need the CPU to also run ECC (or at least error detection) between ram and the cache hierarchy.
Those things are optional in the spec, because we can’t have nice things.
