Working With Columns
Side A/Side B Columns
The Side A/Side B
unframed data, K character, etc. Example Side A/ Side B columns for SAS are shown above. For
frames, it displays the following fields:
• RCtl for Fibre Channel frames
• IU Type for SAS frames
• FIS for SATA frames
• BHSOp for iSCSI frames
Event Types for PCIe (Side A=targets / SideB=hosts)
• PCIe Non-OS
• EDS: Gen3 End of Data Stream as described in the PCIe spec
• EI: Electrical Idle as defined in the PCIe spec
• Loss of Sync: Happens at Gen 1/2 when there are too many code violations. At Gen3, it
happens when there are too many consecutive 130b blocks with Sync bits 00 or 11
(invalid). In both cases, the XGIG HW stops capturing the garbage and captures and
counts the number of DWORDs during the Loss-of-sync, until proper synchronization
happens again. From there, the HW resumes capturing the proper events instead of a
loss-of-sync.
• PCIe DLLP Packet
• PCIe TLP Packet
• PCIe Ordered Set
• EIEOS
• EIOS
• FTS
• SDS
• SKP
• TS1
• TS2
• Unbonded: Used at Gen1/2 when the lanes are misaligned. Also, it is used at Gen1/2/3
when an ordered set is not one of the defined ordered sets.
