Verifying lane adapter state machine in a router design is quite an involved task and needs verification from several aspects including that for its link training functionality.

The diagram below shows two lane adapters connected to each other and each going through the link training process. Each training sub-state transition is contingent on conditions for both transmission and reception of relevant ordered sets needed for a transition. Until conditions for both are satisfied an adapter cannot transition to the next training sub-state.

As deduced from the lane adapter state machine section of USB4 specification, the reception condition for the next training sub-state transition is less strict than that of the transmission condition. For ex., for LOCK1 to LOCK2 transition, the reception condition requires only two SLOS symbols in a row being detected, while the transmission condition requires at least four complete SLOS1 ordered sets to be sent.

From the above conditions in the specification, it is a possibility that a lane adapter A may detect the two SLOS or TS ordered sets, being sent by the lane adapter B on the other end, in the very beginning as soon as it starts transmitting its own SLOS or TS ordered sets. On the other hand, it is also a possibility that these SLOS or TS ordered sets are not yet detected by lane adapter A even when it has met the condition of sending minimum number of SLOS or TS ordered sets.

In such a case, lane adapter A, even though it has satisfied the transmission condition cannot transition to the next sub-state because the reception condition is not yet met. Hence lane adapter A must first wait for the required number of ordered sets to be detected by it before it can go to the next sub-state. But this wait cannot be endless as there are timeouts defined in the specification, after which the training process may be re-attempted.

This interlocked way of operation also ensures that state machine of a lane adapter does not go out of sync with that of the other lane adapter. Such type of scenarios can occur whenever lane adapter state machine transitions to the training state from other states.

Before I ask this, I am aware that I can output an s-parameter file from an SP analysis.

I'm wondering if there is a simple way of creating an s-parameter model of a component.

As an example, if I have an S-parameter model that has 200 ports and 150 of those ports are to be connected to passive components and the remaining 50 ports are to be connected to active components, I can simplify the model by connecting the 150 passive components, running an SP analysis, and generating a 50 port S-parameter file.

The problem is that this is cumbersome. You've got to wire up 50 PORT components and then after generating the s50p file, create a new cellview with an nport component and connect the 50 ports with 50 new pins.

Wiring up all of those port components takes quite a lot of time to do, especially as the "choosing analyses" form adds arrays in reverse (e.g. if you click on an array of PORT components called X<0:2> it will add X<2>, X<1>, X<0> instead of in ascending order) so you have to add all of them to the analyses form manually.

Is any way of taking a schematic and running some magic "generate S-Parameter cellview from schematic cellview"  function that automates the whole process?

ABSTRACT

Bacteria harbor viruses called bacteriophages that, like all viruses, co-opt the host cellular machinery to replicate. Although this relationship is at first glance parasitic, there are social interactions among and between bacteriophages and their bacterial hosts. These social interactions can take on many forms, including cooperation, altruism, and cheating. Such behaviors among individuals in groups of bacteria have been well described. However, the social nature of some interactions between phages or phages and bacteria is only now becoming clear. We are just beginning to understand how bacteriophages affect the sociobiology of bacteria, and we know even less about social interactions within bacteriophage populations. In this review, we discuss recent developments in our understanding of bacteriophage sociobiology, including how selective pressures influence the outcomes of social interactions between populations of bacteria and bacteriophages. We also explore how tripartite social interactions between bacteria, bacteriophages, and an animal host affect host-microbe interactions. Finally, we argue that understanding the sociobiology of bacteriophages will have implications for the therapeutic use of bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections.

ABSTRACT

The profiling of gene expression by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has enabled powerful studies of global transcriptional patterns in all organisms, including bacteria. Because the vast majority of RNA in bacteria is rRNA, it is standard practice to deplete the rRNA from a total RNA sample such that the reads in an RNA-seq experiment derive predominantly from mRNA. One of the most commonly used commercial kits for rRNA depletion, the Ribo-Zero kit from Illumina, was recently discontinued abruptly and for an extended period of time. Here, we report the development of a simple, cost-effective, and robust method for depleting rRNA that can be easily implemented by any lab or facility. We first developed an algorithm for designing biotinylated oligonucleotides that will hybridize tightly and specifically to the 23S, 16S, and 5S rRNAs from any species of interest. Precipitation of these oligonucleotides bound to rRNA by magnetic streptavidin-coated beads then depletes rRNA from a complex, total RNA sample such that ~75 to 80% of reads in a typical RNA-seq experiment derive from mRNA. Importantly, we demonstrate a high correlation of RNA abundance or fold change measurements in RNA-seq experiments between our method and the Ribo-Zero kit. Complete details on the methodology are provided, including open-source software for designing oligonucleotides optimized for any bacterial species or community of interest.

IMPORTANCE The ability to examine global patterns of gene expression in microbes through RNA sequencing has fundamentally transformed microbiology. However, RNA-seq depends critically on the removal of rRNA from total RNA samples. Otherwise, rRNA would comprise upward of 90% of the reads in a typical RNA-seq experiment, limiting the reads coming from mRNA or requiring high total read depth. A commonly used kit for rRNA subtraction from Illumina was recently unavailable for an extended period of time, disrupting routine rRNA depletion. Here, we report the development of a "do-it-yourself" kit for rapid, cost-effective, and robust depletion of rRNA from total RNA. We present an algorithm for designing biotinylated oligonucleotides that will hybridize to the rRNAs from a target set of species. We then demonstrate that the designed oligonucleotides enable sufficient rRNA depletion to produce RNA-seq data with 75 to 80% of reads coming from mRNA. The methodology presented should enable RNA-seq studies on any species or metagenomic sample of interest.
