Techniques for adaptive interface support are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to execute a basic input/output system (BIOS), determine a respective impedance state for each of one or more pins in an M.2 physical interface, determine an interface type for a peripheral device coupled with the M.2 physical interface based on the impedance states for the one or more pins, and control an operational state of the peripheral device during execution of the BIOS, based on the interface type for the peripheral device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A system and method consistent with the present disclosure includes determining a jitter tolerance of a particular lane of a communication link corresponding to each of a plurality of equalization coefficients. Further, determining a particular equalization coefficient of the plurality of equalization coefficients that provides a maximum jitter tolerance. Next, using the particular equalization coefficient for the particular lane of the communication link during operation based on determining the particular equalization coefficient which provides the maximum jitter tolerance.
