Abstract
Fast link training in embedded systems is disclosed. In one aspect, a host takes advantage of situations in which the host is coupled to one or more static devices through a communication bus. In particular, because the one or more devices are static, the host may be provided with information about the one or more devices before start up, so that when the host does perform a start up, the host already knows which device(s) to expect. Accordingly, the host may directly query the expected device(s), and after receipt of response(s) from the expected device(s), may begin link training the expected device(s). By using the provided information about the expected device(s) in this fashion, the host may bypass or skip an initial signal detection step used by conventional link training processes. Bypassing the initial signal detection step may save time, which in turn saves power.
