Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a PCIe interface module and a physical layer to negotiate a link by exchanging a number of fast training sequences (N_FTS). The physical layer may count the number of good FTSs exchanged during an initial or a subsequent link training. The number of FTSs to be exchanged during a subsequent link training may be a number in which a maximum initial number of fast training sequences to be exchanged is reduced by the number of good FTSs exchanged during the initial link training, reducing link training time and increasing efficiency.
