ABSTRACT:
A technique for negotiating the width of a link between a first device and a second device includes detecting, during initialization, a respective signal on one or more control lines associated with at least a portion of an N-bit link. The N-bit link is configured as a single link having a width of N or multiple sublinks having a width less than N based on a respective value of the respective signal on the one or more control lines.
