| abstract |
Data is accessed from a particular register first device that is connected to a second device via a link that includes at least one retimer device. The particular register corresponds to requests to be sent in in-band transactions with the retimer, and the data corresponds to a particular transaction with the retimer. At least one ordered set is generated at the first device to comprise a subset of bits encoded with the data, where the ordered set with the encoded subset of bits is to be sent on the link and the subset of bits are to be processed by the retimer in the particular transaction. |
