In sas-r00a.pdf clause 7.13.6.7.1 SSP_T1:Transmit state description states
"On an indication that a SOF/frame/EOF is to be transmitted the transmit
state shall transmit an SOF in the dword before the first dword of the frame
and an EOF in first dword after the last dword of the frame. If during the
transmission of a frame an indication that a primitive is to be transmitted
occurs the transmit state may transmit the indicated primitive by inserting
the primitive between the frames dwords."
If the receiving device gets a primitive immediately after an SOF or
immediately before an EOF, is it supposed to indicate a protocol error to
the port layer? Or should the primitive(s) just be processed as usual and
the frame accepted?
thank you,
\Sriram\
