Abstract
Systems and methods for devices connected by a control bus to share configuration data for accelerating physical link negotiation for a peripheral interface are described. Computer devices, such as data storage devices, may include a peripheral interface configured to connect to a host system and a control bus interface to connect to a control bus. Other devices on the same control bus may establish peer communication through the control bus interface to share configuration data, such as coefficients for physical link negotiation of the peripheral interface. To accelerate reestablishing communication through the peripheral interface, the device may receive previously stored configuration data from another device over the control bus.
