Abstract :
As SerDes use in system-level applications increases, interoperability and overall system optimization become greater challenges. This work presents a solution to these problems utilizing the combination of embedded link transmit and receive tests via system diagnostics software layer, JTAG, and the upcoming IEEE P1687 standard.
