2.3.2.2.2. Control Unit

The control unit is a firmware wrapper that takes over RX adaptation from the PMA. It also handles auto-negotiation and link training for Ethernet. The control unit can also provide some support for on-die instrumentation (ODI). It is not used when PMA is operating in PCIe* mode.
