Abstract: Handling port resets in a multi-port system includes monitoring, using a plurality of firewall circuits, a plurality of controllers corresponding to different communication ports for a reset condition. The plurality of controllers are coupled to a direct memory access (DMA) system through a plurality of bridge circuits. A selected firewall circuit detects a reset condition on a selected controller coupled thereto. The selected controller is coupled to a selected bridge circuit of the plurality of bridge circuits. In response to detecting the reset condition, the selected firewall circuit implements a firewall operating mode. While operating in the firewall operating mode, the selected firewall circuit is configured to control operation of the selected bridge circuit thereby isolating the selected controller from the DMA system. Firewall operating mode of firewall circuits also may be initiated by a management processor in a proactive manner.

Abstract: A direct memory access (DMA) system can include a memory configured to store a plurality of host profiles, a plurality of interfaces, wherein two or more of the plurality of interfaces correspond to different ones of a plurality of host processors, and a plurality of data engines coupled to the plurality of interfaces. The plurality of data engines are independently configurable to access different ones of the plurality of interfaces for different flows of a DMA operation based on the plurality of host profiles.

Abstract: Examples herein describe techniques for providing a customizable direct memory access (DMA) interface which can permit user logic to change or control how DMA read and writes are performed. In one example, a DMA engine may be hardened (e.g., include circuitry formed from a semiconductor material) which prevents the DMA engine from being reconfigured like programmable logic. Instead of changing the DMA engine, the user logic can change or customize the DMA interface between the user logic and the DMA engine. In this way, the manner in which the DMA engine performs DMA write and reads can be changed by the user logic. In one example, the DMA engine includes a bypass mode of operation where descriptors associated with DMA queues are passed through the DMA engine and to the user logic.

Abstract: A supersequence is generated that includes a sequence including an electrical ordered set (EOS) and a plurality of training sequences. The plurality of training sequences include a predefined number of training sequences corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of training states with which the supersequence is to be associated, each training sequence in the plurality of training sequences is to include a respective training sequence header and a training sequence payload, the training sequence payloads of the plurality of training sequences are to be sent scrambled and the training sequence headers of the plurality of training sequences are to be sent unscrambled.

Abstract: A memory circuit is configured for storage of completion queues. Each completion queue can store completion descriptors associated with transfers of data from interrupt source circuits to the memory circuit. A direct memory access circuit provides access to the memory circuit for the interrupt source circuits. An interrupt engine issues interrupt messages for processing the completion descriptors in the completion queues in response to satisfaction of a set of trigger conditions specified in an active interrupt moderation mode. The active interrupt moderation mode is one of multiple available interrupt moderation modes. The interrupt engine bypasses issuing interrupt messages in response to the set of trigger conditions of the active interrupt moderation mode not being satisfied.
