Abstract
Training of a link is performed, wherein the link is an interconnect between two devices of a computer system. A built-in self-test (BIST) of the link is performed. A result from the link training is compared to a result from the BIST. A link status of the link is posted, wherein the link status is based at least in part on the result from the link training and the result from the BIST.
