Auto Speed Negotiation - Teledyne Sierra M6-2 User Manual

Sierra Trainer Generation Commands

5.14.9 Auto Speed Negotiation

The commands SATA_D10.2, SATA_ALIGN, SPEED_NEG_ALIGN0 and SPEED_NEG_ALIGN1
operate differently based on the state of the Auto Speed negotiation (Asng) control bit
(which is set or cleared by configuration memory blocks in the stream) and by the current
SAS/SATA, Init/Targ state of the Trainer Engine. The table below illustrates different
actions done by Trainer Engine executing SATA_D10.2, SATA_ALIGN, SPEED_NEG_ALIGN0
and SPEED_NEG_ALIGN1 commands based on Asng and Trainer Engine setup.
