Sure, we can work on this.

Darshan,
You are correct, the spec is broken for Redrivers. Would you like to work with
me on creating a BIRD that will correct this?

Subject: [ibis-macro] Init Return Impulse models with Redriver
Hi,
I have following setup for my simulation
TX AMI model (Init_Return_Impulse = True, Getwave = False) --> Upstream Channel
--> Repeater RX (redriver and not retimer) AMI model (Init_Return_Impulse =
True, Getwave = False) --> Repeater TX (redriver and not retimer) AMI model
(Init_Return_Impulse = True, Getwave = False) --> Downstream Channel --> RX AMI
model (Init_Return_Impulse = True, Getwave = False)
I have Init Return Impulse model for all the 4 serdes and no Getwave model.
Also, RX (not repeater RX but RX at extreme right) has feature of auto tuning.
Looking into all the 9 steps of Repeater simulation (Page 224 of ver6_0.pdf),
it looks like there is no effect on RX Auto Adaptation algorithm due to
upstream channel.
The way it works is Upstream channel IR is calculated (convolution of upstream
channel + TX serdes + Repeater RX serdes IR) which is upto step 3 of spec. and
then Downstream Channel IR is calculated (convolution of downstream channel +
Repeater TX serdes + RX serdes IR) which is upto step 6 of spec.
It looks like RX serdes eq. parameters are auto tuned based on IR presented to
RX serdes input which is IR of (downstream channel + Repeater TX serdes) and
hence effect of upstream channel, TX serdes and Repeater RX serdes has no
impact on RX adaptation algorithm which is incorrect.
Please correct if I am wrong.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Darshan
