Performance Counters

The Physical Layer implements three performance counters. They are implemented as attributes accessible by the Performance Manager using GMPs:

  • 16-bit SymbolErrorCounter. Counts the total number of symbol errors detected on one or more lanes.

  • 8-bit LinkErrorRecoveryCounter. Counts the total number of times the training state machine has successfully completed the automatic link error recovery process.

  • 8-bit LinkDownedCounter. Counts the total number of times the training state machine has failed the link error recovery process and downed the link.

Refer to “Performance Management” on page 1019 for a detailed decsription of Performance Management.
