Abstract: A programmable link training and status state machine is disclosed. The programmable finite state machine includes extra states, or shadow states, which are strategically used to debug a system design or to accommodate unexpected behavior, such as when the specifications of the design change. The programmable finite state machine is thus a mechanism to design in correctable logic, enabling the logic to be corrected in silicon and used in succeeding iterations of a product line.
