Thanks, Ken. It looks fine.

How does this look? 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 will re-issue the parameter TrainingDone=True to the transmitter model to end the training process.

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.

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.
