    Abstract: A controller for data strobe signal (DQS) position adjustment includes, when the controller obtains margin effective widths of all data signals in a transmission bus, it determines a left boundary and a right boundary based on the margin effective widths, where the left boundary is a largest value in minimum values of the margin effective widths of all the DQs, and the right boundary is a smallest value in maximum values of the corresponding margin effective widths when all the DQs are aligned with the left boundary. The controller calculates a first central position based on the left boundary and the right boundary, where the first central position is a center of a smallest margin effective width obtained after all the DQs are aligned during read data training, and adjusts a delay line (DL) of the DQS to the first central position.

    Abstract: A transmitter equalization parameter evaluation method and an apparatus are provided. The method provided in this application is used for evaluating a transmitter equalization parameter of a high-speed interface in a first device, and the method is performed by a second device connected to the first device over a communication link. The second device first detects a status of the communication link between the first device and the second device, where the communication link is constructed through the high-speed interface in the first device. When determining that the communication link is idle, the second device performs a transmitter equalization parameter evaluation process of the high-speed interface in the first device based on the communication link. When the communication link is idle, the transmitter equalization parameter evaluation process of the high-speed interface in the first device is started. This ensures efficiency of transmitter equalization parameter evaluation.
