Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for implementing adaptive equalization channel extension retimer link-up in high-speed serial links. Under aspects of the proposed methodology, the retimer device intervenes with the adaptive equalization training, training both ends of the link individually between the two end points, and once both of the retimer's receivers are trained, it propagates the receiver readiness indication through from one end point to the other. This allows all sections of the link to train at the same time, and for all devices to transition to data mode at the same time, once all channels have been adapted to and trained. This methodology also applies to cascaded retimer device configurations, where multiple retimers are being used to extend the channel even further.

Claim (Index 31):
The method of  claim 30 , further comprising:\n determining both the first and second receivers on the retimer have been trained; while training signals are being received at the second receiver from the second end point,\n continuing transmitting training signals from the first transmitter of the retimer to the receiver of the first end point; \n receiving a receiver ready signal transmitted by the second end point at the second receiver; and passing the receiver ready signal through the retimer and transmitting the receiver ready signal via the first transmitter on the retimer to the receiver on the first end point.
