    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to fast deskew when exiting a low-power partial-width high speed link state are described. In one embodiment, an exit flit on active lanes and/or a wake signal/sequence on idle lanes may be transmitted at a first point in time to cause one or more idle lanes of a link to enter an active state. At a second point in time (following or otherwise subsequent to the first point in time), training sequences are transmitted over the one or more idle lanes of the link. And, the one or more idle lanes are deskewed in response to the training sequences and prior to a third point in time (following or otherwise subsequent to the second point in time). Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses can include a receiver that includes port to receive a flow control unit (Flit) across a link, the link comprising a plurality of lanes. The receiver can also include error detection circuitry to determine an error in the Flit, an error counter to count a number of errors received, the error counter to increment based on an error detected in the Flit by the error detection circuitry, a Flit counter to count a number of Flits received, the Flit counter to increment based on receiving a Flit, and bit error rate logic to determine a bit error rate based on a count recorded by the error counter and a number of bits received as indicated by the Flit counter. The systems and apparatuses can apply processes to perform direct BER measurements at the receiver.

    Abstract: A port of a computing device is to communicate with another device over a link, the port including physical layer logic of a first protocol, link layer logic of each of a plurality of different protocols, and protocol negotiation logic to determine which of the plurality of different protocols to apply on the link. The protocol negotiation logic is to send and receive ordered sets in a configuration state of a link training state machine of the first protocol, where the ordered sets include an identifier of a particular one of the plurality of different protocols. The protocol negotiation logic is to determine from the ordered sets that a link layer of the particular protocol is to be applied on the link.

    Abstract: Systems and devices can include an error injection register comprising error injection parameter information. The systems and devices can also include error injection logic circuit to read error injection parameter information from the error injection register, and inject an error into a flow control unit (Flit); and protocol stack circuitry to transmit the Flit comprising the error on a multilane link. The injected error can be detected by a receiver and used to test and characterize various aspects of a link, such as bit error rate, error correcting code, cyclic redundancy check, replay capabilities, error logging, and other characteristics of the link.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses can include transmission-side protocol stack circuitry comprising first cyclic redundancy check (CRC) circuitry to determine first CRC code for a first set of information and to determine second CRC code for a second set of information; and Flit encoding circuitry to encode a first portion of a Flit with the first set of information and the first CRC code, the Flit encoding circuitry to encode a second portion of the Flit with the second set of information and the second CRC code. Receiver-side protocol stack circuitry can include a low-latency path comprising first CRC check circuitry to perform a CRC check on a first portion of a received Flit. Receiver-side protocol stack circuitry can include a non-low-latency path comprising forward error correction (FEC) decoder circuitry to perform FEC on received Flits, and second CRC check circuitry to perform CRC check on received Flits that pass FEC.

    Abstract: For example, an electronic system may include interconnect circuitry to communicate over an electrical interconnect; and a Physical layer (PHY) controller configured to access a plurality of optical-capability registers to identify optical-training control information and optical-capability information. For example, the optical-training control information may include a start-training bit. For example, based on a determination that the start-training bit is set to a predefined value, the PHY controller may initiate an optical-based link training procedure via the electrical interconnect to train a link between the electronic system and a partner electronic system over a redriver-based optical interconnect. For example, the optical-based link training procedure may be based on the optical-capability information.

    Abstract: Technologies for a unified debug and test architecture in chiplets is disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, several chiplets are integrated on an integrated circuit package. The chiplets are connected by a package interconnect, such as a universal chiplet interconnect express (UCIe) interconnect. Each chiplet includes several debug nodes, which are connected by an on-chiplet network. One of the chiplets, referred to as a package debug endpoint, acts as a link endpoint for an off-package link, such as a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) link. In use, debug messages can be sent to the package debug endpoint over a PCIe link. The debug messages can be routed within the chiplets and between chiplets, allowing for the debug functionality at each debug node to be probed using a common protocol. In this manner, chiplets from different vendors can be integrated into the same package and tested using common software.
