Reception of the Odd Case
Figure D-4 illustrates the reception of the in-bound code-group stream, received either
serially using the RocketIO transceiver, or in parallel across the TBI, and translation of this
code-group stream into the receiver GMII. This is performed by the PCS Receive Engine.
Note that the Start of Packet code group /S/ is again replaced with a preamble byte.
However, the first preamble byte of the original transmit GMII (see Figure D-3) frame
(which was replaced with the /D16.2/ character to complete the Idle sequence), has not
been replaced. This has resulted in a single byte of preamble loss across the system.
