5.1.2.2 Primitives descriptions

The following table contains the primitive mnemonics and a brief description of each.

Primitive

Name

Description

 

 

 

ALIGN

Physical layer control

Upon receipt of an ALIGN, the physical layer

 

 

readjusts internal operations as necessary to

 

 

perform its functions correctly.

 

 

 

EOF

End of frame

EOF marks the end of a frame.

 

 

 

PMACK

Power management

Sent in response to a PMREQ_S or

 

acknowledge

PMREQ_P when a receiving node is prepared

 

 

to enter a power mode state.

 

 

 

PMNAK

Power management

Sent in response to a PMREQ_S or

 

denial

PMREQ_P when a receiving node is not

 

 

prepared to enter a power mode state or when

 

 

power management is not supported.

 

 

 

PMREQ_P

Power management

This primitive is sent continuously until

 

request to partial

PMACK or PMNAK is received. When

 

 

PMACK is received, current node (host or

 

 

device) will stop PMREQ_P and enters the

 

 

Partial power management state.

 

 

 

PMREQ_S

Power management

This primitive is sent continuously until

 

request to Slumber

PMACK or PMNAK is received. When

 

 

PMACK is received, current node (host or

 

 

device) will stop PMREQ_S and enters the

 

 

Slumber power management state.

 

 

 

R_ERR

Reception error

Current node (host or device) detected error in

 

 

received payload.

 

 

 

R_OK

Reception with no error

Current node (host or device) detected no

 

 

error in received payload.

 

 

 

R_RDY

Receiver ready

Current node (host or device) is ready to

 

 

receive payload.

 

 

 

SOF

Start of frame

Start of a frame. Payload and CRC follow to

 

 

EOF.

 

 

 

SYNC

Synchronization

Synchronizing primitive - always idle.

 

 

 

X_RDY

Transmission data ready

Current node (host or device) has payload

 

 

ready for transmission.
