Hi, Ken;

I apologize for my late reply. The text looks fine. You may want to make it 
clear that EDA tool will pass the message issued by Rx with TrainingDone=True 
to Tx to end the training session.

Regards,
Fangyi

Subject: TrainingDone for back-channel

Hi Fangyi,

One input I got from the last conference call on back-channel was regarding the 
TrainingDone parameter from the standpoint of the EDA tool. Typically, the Rx 
will decide that training is completed and issue TrainingDone=True. The EDA 
tool should also be able to do this since this is an InOut parameter. The idea 
here is that the tool could pass TrainingDone=True to the Rx, and the Rx could 
re-issue it out to formally end the training process. So this would always end 
up going through the Rx for consistency. Here is what I would update in the 
BIRD:

TrainingDone:

TrainingDone is of usage InOut and is issued by the receiver model to signify 
the
completion of back-channel training. TrainingDone can also be initiated by the 
EDA
tool. In this case the parameter TrainingDone=True can be passed from the EDA 
tool
to the receiver model. Then the receiver model can re-issue TrainingDone=True to
end the training process.

Let me know if this would cover it.

Thanks,
