    Abstract: First data is received on a plurality of data lanes of a physical link and a stream signal corresponding to the first data is received on a stream lane identifying a type of the first data. A first instance of an error detection code of a particular type is identified in the first data. Second data is received on at least a portion of the plurality of data lanes and a stream signal corresponding to the second data is received on the stream lane identifying a type of the second data. A second instance of the error detection code of the particular type is identified in the second data. The stream lane is another one of the lanes of the physical link and, in some instance, the type of the second data is different from the type of the first data.

    Abstract: An interconnect interface is provided to enable communication with an off-package device over a link including a plurality of lanes. Logic of the interconnect interface includes receiver logic to receive a valid signal from the off-package device on a dedicated valid lane of the link indicating that data is to arrive on a plurality of dedicated data lanes in the plurality of lanes, receive the data on the data lanes from the off-package device sampled based on arrival of the valid signal, and receive a stream signal from the off-package device on a dedicated stream lane in the plurality of lanes. The stream signal corresponds to the data and indicates a particular data type of the data. The particular data type can be one of a plurality of different data types capable of being received on the plurality of data lanes of the link.
