A method of resource-synchronizing data that is transmitted on a communication link having at least one data lane, between a first device and a second device, wherein the second device has a resource that is accessible based on an access schedule. In one operation, a timing offset of the second device based on the access schedule is determined, followed by delaying the transmission of data from the first device to the second device through the communication link by an amount of time equal to the timing offset so that the data is received at the resource when the resource is accessible according to the access schedule.
