Device, method and system for performing closed chassis debug with a repeater
Techniques and mechanisms for exchanging debug information with a repeater and multiplex logic of a platform. In an embodiment, the multiplex logic can be configured to any of multiple modes including a first mode to exchange debug information between the repeater and debug client logic of the platform. Another of the multiple modes may provide an alternate communication path for exchanging functional data, other than any debug information, between the repeater and a physical layer interface of the platform. In another embodiment, the repeater is compatible with a repeater architecture identified by a universal serial bus standard. The physical layer interface is compatible with an interface specification identified by the same universal bus standard.
