Abstract
A starting logical lane of a logical bus is set to the first or last physical lane of a physical bus. A width of a logical bus is set to half the number of physical lanes. If a fault is absent in the logical bus, the starting logical lane is set to the other of the first and last physical lanes. The width is repeatingly divided by two until it is equal to one lane or the fault is not present in the logical bus. When the fault is absent in the logical bus and the width is greater than one lane, the fault is present within a range of the physical lanes encompassing a contiguous number of the physical lanes and the first or last physical lane.
