    Abstract: A port of a computing device includes multiple receiver-transmitter pairs, each of the receiver-transmitter pairs including a respective receiver and a respective transmitter. The device further includes state machine logic that detects a training sequence received by a particular one of the receiver-transmitter pairs on a particular lane from a tester device. The training sequence includes a value to indicate a test of the particular receiver-transmitter pair by the tester device. The particular receiver-transmitter pair enters a first link state in association with the test and one or more other receiver-transmitter pairs of the port enter a second link state different from the first link state in association with the test to cause crosstalk to be generated on the particular lane during the test.

    Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products that facilitate a downstream port to operate in Separate Reference Clocks with Independent Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) (SRIS) mode. The system can determine that the downstream port supports one or more SRIS selection mechanisms; determine a system clock configuration from the downstream port to a corresponding upstream port connected to the downstream port by the PCIe-compliant link; set an SRIS mode in the downstream port; and transmit data across the link from the downstream port using the determined system clock configuration.

    Abstract: An apparatus that includes a physical interface for a serial interconnect is provided. The physical interface includes a buffer that is selectable to function as a drift buffer or an elastic buffer by a voltage level on a buffer control line. The physical interface also includes encoding logic that can be enabled or disabled by a voltage level on a logic control line. Further, the physical interface also includes and an ordered set generator that can be enabled or disabled by a voltage level on a communications control line.

    Abstract: A retimer device is provided that includes an elasticity buffer, a receiver, and a controller. The elasticity buffer adds or subtracts data in the elasticity buffer to compensate for different bit rates of two devices to be connected over a link, where the retimer is positioned between the two devices on the link. The receiver receives a data stream to be sent between the two devices on the link. The controller determines, from the data stream, a modification to one or more characteristics of the link, and causes size of the elasticity buffer to be changed from a first size to a second size based on the modification.
