Abstract:
A packet is identified at a port of a serial data link, and it is determined that the packet is associated with an error. Entry into an error recovery mode is initiated based on the determination that the packet is associated with the error. Entry into the error recovery mode can cause the serial data link to be forced down. In one aspect, forcing the data link down causes all subsequent inbound packets to be dropped and all pending outbound requests and completions to be aborted during the error recovery mode.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses associated with a secure stream protocol for a serial interconnect are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus comprises a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter and receiver are configured to transmit and receive transaction layer data packets through a link, the transaction layer data packets including indicators associated with transmission of order set transmitted after a predetermined number of data blocks, when the transmission is during a header suppression mode. Additional features and other embodiments are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method of staggering lanes in a peripheral component interconnect express (PCI-Express) port is described herein. The method includes initiating the port to enter or exit an electrical idle state. The method also includes forwarding a token to a predetermined lane of the port. Additionally, the method includes turning the predetermined lane ON or OFF by indication to an analog circuit interface. The method also includes forwarding the token to a neighboring lane when a staggering interval timer elapses.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices can involve a host device that includes a root complex, a link, and an interconnect protocol stack coupled to a bus link. The interconnect protocol stack can include multiplexing logic to select one of a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) upper layer mode, or an accelerator link protocol upper layer mode, the PCIe upper layer mode or the accelerator link protocol upper layer mode to communicate over the link, and physical layer logic to determine one or more low latency features associated with one or both of the PCIe upper layer mode or the accelerator link protocol upper layer mode.
