Abstract:
1. A method for implementing serial link training sequences for training a serial link in an interconnect system, said method comprising: providing a transmit device with the serial link for transmitting data; providing a receiver device with the serial link for receiving data; said transmit device, transmitting a training sequence (TS) pattern; said transmit device, transmitting random data for a predefined time duration; said transmit device, repeating the steps of transmitting the TS-pattern, and transmitting the random data for the predefined time duration; said receiver device performing receiver initialization steps, said transmit device, advancing to a next TS-pattern when said receiver device detects a current TS-pattern and said receiver device being ready for initialization to advance; and said transmit device, repeating the steps of transmitting the next TS-pattern, and transmitting the random data for the predefined time duration, said receiver device performing receiver initialization steps.
