Abstract: Redundant acknowledgment between agents performing a loopback test over bidirectional communications bus is described. In one example, in a processor including a communications agent coupled to a bidirectional communications bus, the communications agent initiates loopback communications to a second agent, sends a packet including a redundant acknowledgment sequence to the second agent, receives the packet including the redundant acknowledgement sequence looped back from the second agent, determines whether the received redundant acknowledgment sequence is valid, sends a test sequence to the second agent, receives the test sequence looped back, and if the received redundant acknowledgment sequence is determined to be valid, then checks the received test sequence.

Abstract: A technique for promoting determinism among bus agents within a point-to-point (PtP) network. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to techniques to compensate for link latency, data skew, and clock shift within a PtP network of common system interface (CSI) bus agents.

Abstract: Redundant acknowledgment between agents performing a loopback test over bidirectional communications bus is described. In one example the acknowledgment is performed by initiating loopback communications from a first agent to a second agent, sending a packet including a redundant acknowledgment sequence from the first agent to the second agent, receiving the packet including the redundant acknowledgement sequence looped back from the second agent at the first agent, sending a test sequence from the first agent to the second agent, and receiving the test sequence looped back from the first agent.

Abstract: A discussion of improving integrated device deterministic response to test vectors. For example, limiting the transmission delay for an integrated device's response within known bounds by synchronizing an initialization training sequence to a reset deassertion. Specifically, the proposal facilitates response determinism from the DUT by synchronizing training sequences and subsequently synchronizing flit transmission to reset assertion as sampled by reference clock.
