4. Then, click on the “Select Tests” tab and choose the tests that you would like to run. If all tests are desired
to be run, then only the top of the main tree needs to be selected. Only the tests for your products/PUT type
and speed are shown in the tree based on your inputs from the previous setup step.
5. Next click on the “Configure Tab” to verify proper setup of the application connection points. The SATA
II: Electrical Specification 1.0 currently offers two independent test mode for SATA products or products
vendors.
A. Vendor specific test mode – user must have a method of creating the necessary LFTP, MFTP,
HFTP, LBP and SSOP test patterns per the above specification, Sections 6.2.4.3 and 6.4.11. This
mode would be selected to support BIST-T,A,S mode and will prompt the user for pattern changes
when needed to ensure testing with the correct pattern.
B. Far-end Retimed Loopback (FERL) mode – REQUIRED for all SATA designs per the above
specification, Section 6.2.3. Users will need to enable this FERL feature via a BIST Activate
(Bidirectional) FIS command set, with the Loopback (L-bit) asserted. In this mode, the Transmit
Only (T-bit), Align bypass (A-bit) and Bypass Scrambling (S-bit) are normally all de-asserted, but
will be ignored if the L-bit is asserted. In FERL mode, the 81134A will be programmed to send
the required compliance patterns at the appropriate time, thereby automating the user’s
products/PUT test solution completely and allowing for simple and quicker test transitions.
