Abstract

A system includes a first device and a second device coupled to a link. The first device is to transmit one or more request frames for synchronization of a data layer, each request frame including a quantity of bits and an error code. The second device is to receive a first set of bits corresponding to the quantity of bits in each request frame. The second device is to perform an error decode operation on the first set of bits using a first portion of the first set of bits and determine the first set of bits correspond to a frame boundary of the one more request frames responsive to a success of the error decode operation. The second device is to transmit an acknowledgement of the synchronization of the data layer based on determining the first set of bits corresponds to the frame boundary.
