摘要:
A link latency management for a high-speed point-to-point network (pTp) is described The link latency management facilitates calculating latency of a serial interface by tracking a round trip delay of a header that contains latency information. Therefore, the link latency management facilitates testers, logic analyzers, or test devices to accurately measure link latency for a point-to-point architecture utilizing a serial interface.
摘要:
Embodiments of the invention provide an algorithm for dividing a link into one or more reduced-width links. For one embodiment of the invention, a multiplexing scheme is employed to effect a bit transmission order required by a particular cyclic redundancy check. The multiplexed output bits are then swizzled on-chip to reduce on-board routing congestion.

A loopback test to test a communication link for a layered interface where in a master agent programs the electrical parameters for the slave agent, such as, the offset, timing, and current compensation with a loopback control register. The slave agent's transmitter and receiver are independently controlled and the master agent may use a slave-echoed data test pattern to detect errors and subsequently sets the appropriate status bits in a loop back status register
摘要:
A software self test engine is executed from a cache of a processor. The software self test engine is executed using an execution engine of the processor to perform a physical layer self test. The physical layer self test is performed by transmitting a test vector from the execution engine under control of the self test engine to an input/output (“I/O”) unit of the processor along a datapath coupling the execution engine to the I/O unit. The test vector is transmitted along a loop back path including the I/O unit and the datapath to test a hardware device along the loop back path.
