Abstract
An apparatus with a network controller sideband interface retimer includes a second clock circuit configured to transmit a second clock signal to a NIC. The second clock signal is separate from a first clock signal from a clock connected to a BMC. The apparatus includes a NIC data relay circuit configured to receive data packets from the NIC on a first reduced media independent interface ('RMII') bus and to transmit the received data packets to the BMC over a second RMII bus. The apparatus includes a clock delay circuit configured to add a delay to the second clock signal to create a delayed second clock signal. The delay is adjusted to cause the delayed second clock signal to coincide with a time during receipt of the data packets received from the NIC when data of a bit of the data packets received from the NIC is valid.
