Abstract: A retimer device receives a first signal from a first device and regenerates the first signal to send to a second device. The retimer further receive a second signal from the second device and regenerates the second signal to send to the first device, where the first device includes a processor device. The retimer includes a sideband interface to connect to the first device and further includes protocol logic to monitor the first signal, determine that the first signal includes a pattern defined in a protocol to identify a protocol activity, and participate in performance of the protocol activity using the sideband interface.
