In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method communicating control information for an external adaptive equalization process for a channel coupled between a transmitter and a receiver from an external agent. In this way, the external agent may control tap settings of an equalizer based on feedback information from the receiver responsive to a data pattern generated and transmitted by the transmitter. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
