4.4.4. Deskew Signals

In PIPE Direct mode, the PHY wrapper removes any lane-to-lane skew introduced while crossing the EMIB. A dedicated deskew marker is used for detecting and compensating for any multi-lane skew introduced by EMIB. The deskew logic can account for a maximum of up to 3 cycles of parallel skew. After a cold/warm/hot reset or CvP update, the deskew process will start.

The user application logic needs to send a deskew marker every 16 clock cycles for the purpose of deskewing the data on the EMIB channels. The PHY deskew logic will run the deskew process every time it receives the deskew marker.
