Abstract

Methods and apparatus relating to lane based normalized historical error counter view for faulty lane isolation and disambiguation of transient versus persistent errors are described. In an embodiment, a plurality of storage entries store error information to be detected at one or more physical lanes of an interface. Faulty lane detection logic circuitry determines which of the one or more physical lanes is faulty or more likely to be faulty based at least in part on the stored error information for the one or more physical lanes of the interface. The stored error information comprises historical error details for the one or more physical lanes of the interface. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
