An extension device is positioned within a point-to-point link to connect two devices, where the extension device includes error detection circuitry to detect a set of errors at the extension device. The extension device further includes memory to store an event register, where the extension device is to write data to the event register to describe detection of an error by the error detection circuitry. The extension device further includes a transmitter to transmit a notification signal to indicate the detection of the error and presence of data in the evert register associated with the error.

Mechanism of enabling fault handling with PCIE re-timer

A device includes a circuit board with circuit components, and first edge finger tab extending from the circuit board, and a second edge finger tab extending from the circuit board. The first edge finger tab includes electrical contacts to provide signaling to and from particular circuit components of the circuit board, and is to mate with a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe)-compatible edge card connection mechanism of a baseboard. The second edge finger tab includes electrical contacts to provide power delivery to the circuit board, is to mate with a second edge card connection mechanism of the baseboard. In some aspects, the second edge finger tab may be a PCIe-compatible feature that is typically to prevent the device from being inserted into a legacy PCI edge card connection mechanism, or with a PCIe-compatible feature that is typically to engage a retention mechanism of a baseboard.
