Appendix A VLYNQ Protocol Specifications

A.1 Introduction

VLYNQ relies on 8b/10b block coding to minimize the number of serial pins and allow for in-band packet delineation and control. The following sections include general 8b/10b coding definitions and their implementation.

A.3 Supported Ordered Sets

Each VLYNQ module must support a limited number of ordered sets. Ordered sets provide for the delineation of packets and synchronization between VLYNQ modules at opposite ends of the serial connection. VLYNQ 2.0 and later versions do not require some of the following ordered sets.
