Abstract
A method and accompanying system are disclosed for tuning each channel of a high-speed SerDes link interface arranged in a configuration linking a local side to a remote side. The method includes transmitting a flow control packets from the local side to the remote side to change remote side transmission characteristics in a link channel; monitoring the bit error rate (BER) in the link channel; transferring additional flow control packets to adjust the remote side transmission characteristics; and processing the BER data at the local side to generate the remote side transmission characteristics for the link channel.
