Abstract
A system may include a first device, a second device, a third device, and a serial link between the second device and the third device. The first device may be configured to deliver to the second device an information stream having a transmission fault tolerance associated with a transmission by the second device to the third device over the serial link. A related method may include, during the transmission over the serial link, phases for synchronization between the second and third devices, and during each synchronization phase, the first device may continue to deliver the information stream to the second device.
