摘要:
Systems, methods, and devices can include a first die comprising a first arbitration and multiplexing logic, a first protocol stack associated with a first interconnect protocol, and a second protocol stack associated with a second interconnect protocol. A second die comprising a second arbitration and multiplexing logic. A multilane link connects the first die to the second die. The second arbitration and multiplexing logic can send a request to the first arbitration and multiplexing logic to change a first virtual link state associated with the first protocol stack. The first arbitration and multiplexing logic can receive, from across the multilane link, the request from the first die indicating a request to change the first virtual link state; determine that the first interconnect protocol is ready to change a physical link state; and change the first virtual link state according to the received request while maintaining a second virtual link state.
摘要:
The invention relates to an apparatus comprising arbitration and multiplexer (ARB/MUX) logic to arbitrate data from a plurality of different link layers of a plurality of different protocols of an interconnect; to multiplex data of the plurality of different link layers on a physical layer of the interconnect; to maintain a first virtual link state machine (VLSM) for a first one of the plurality of link layers; and to maintain a second VLSM for a second one of the plurality of link layers; wherein states in the first VLSM and the second VLSM correspond to states defined in a link state machine of the physical layer.
