PCI - Express

Mar 13, 2007 1 Replies

My understanding of the initialising sequence for a PCI-E card is as follows:


1 Detect phase to see if there's a receiver connected
2 Send TS1s
3 Send 1024 TS1 after at least one TS1 has been received
4 Send TS2s and continue to send them until 8 TS2s have been received
5 Send a further 16 TS2s
6 Send TS1s and wait for 2 TS1s with Link number rather than PAD symbol
7 Return TS1s with Link number and wait to receive 2 TS1s with Lane number
8 Return TS1s with Link and lane number

What's wrong with the above?
