- Read the DPCD capabilities fields out of the sink device
(
0x00000
to0x0000B
) though the AUX channel. - Determine values for lane count, link speed, enhanced framing mode, downspread control and main link channel code based on each link partners’ capability and needs.
- Write the configuration parameters to the link configuration
field (
0x00100
to0x00101
) of the DPCD through the AUX channel.Note: Some Sink devices’ DPCD capability fields are unreliable. Many source devices start with the maximum transmitter capabilities and scale back as necessary to find a configuration the Sink device can handle. This could be an advisable strategy instead of relying on DPCD values. - Equivalently, write the appropriate values to the Source core’s
local configuration space.
