Overview

1.1Common Features

1.1.1Graphical Bus Traffic Display

Bus traffic displays use color and graphics to show captured transactions.

Packets are on separate rows. Packets receive time stamps and sequential numbers as the system records them. Fields have labels and color codes. The system automatically detects protocol errors and highlights them in red.

You can customize the display color scheme and field formats. You can use the hide feature to suppress SOF packets and uninteresting user defined packets or fields in different contexts. You can name and save display formats for later use. Pop up tooltips annotate packet fields.

The display software operates independently of the hardware, allowing it to function as a stand alone “trace viewer” that you can freely distribute.

Figure 1.1: Trace Viewer
USB Protocol Suite User Manual	17

Teledyne LeCroy Corporation	Common Features

1.1.2Accurate Time Measurement (Voyager, Advisor T3)

The internal counter/timer circuitry enables reliable, accurate (2 ns resolution)

time stamping of recorded bus traffic. Traces and measurement and analysis functions display this timing information. Time fields are time stamps, idle times, bit times, or time deltas, in either decimal or hexadecimal format. You can add any number of markers to denote specific packets, you can make further timing measurements from one marker to another or from marker to trigger.

An essential feature of time management is that idle traffic does not consume Analyzer memory. Because of this unique technology, the system can make accurate timing calculations while still preserving valuable recording memory for important bus traffic.

The oscillator has 2.5 ppm accuracy.

1.1.3CrossSync Control Panel (Voyager, Advisor T3)

The CrossSync Control Panel allows you to select analyzers for synchronization and manage the recording process. It supports a wide combination of Teledyne LeCroy’s flagship analyzers including PCI Express Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3; USB 2.0 and 3.0; Serial ATA (SATA) 1.5, 3 and 6Gbps; Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 6Gbps and Fibre Channel 1. 2, 4 and 8Gbps systems.

CrossSync is Teledyne LeCroy’s analyzer synchronization solution that enables time aligned display of protocol traffic from multiple daisy chained analyzers showing packet traffic from multiple high speed serial busses. A lightweight software control panel allows users to select analyzers for synchronization and manage the recording process. Captured traffic is displayed using the latest analyzer software (in separate windows) with all the protocol specific search and reporting features.

Captured packets are displayed in separate windows that share a common time scale. Navigating the traffic in either direction will scroll to the same timestamp in a synchronized window. When using the CrossSync option, users can access the full complement of analysis capabilities available within the individual Teledyne LeCroy software. Search, reporting, and decoding all operate normally (see “CrossSync Control Panel” on page 98).

This feature is available with the Teledyne LeCroy USB Protocol Suite application.

1.1.4Comprehensive Error Detection and Analysis

The system detects, and alerts you to, every potential bus error and protocol violation, and their combinations. The Analyzer BusEngine™ circuitry performs real time triggering on multiple error conditions, such as PID bad, bit stuffing bad, header or data CRC bad, end of packet bad, babble, activity loss, frame length violation, time out or turn around violation, and data toggle violation. The Analyzer program highlights all hardware detected errors and further examines the trace file for additional protocol errors, including wrong packet length, data payload violation, and packet termination not on a byte boundary.

Common Features		Teledyne LeCroy Corporation

1.1.5Real-Time Event Triggering and Capture Filtering

The Analyzer can accurately identify and selectively record transactions of interest from the crowded stream of bus traffic. The system uses more than a dozen configurable hardware building blocks that you can optimize to perform particular activities. Such “recording resources” can independently await an initialization signal, monitor its external environment (external signals or other resources) in search of a particular event, and take a subsequent action, such as triggering, inclusive or exclusive filtering, and counting. In the user interface, you can select, configure, and combine these resources to search for complex trigger conditions and selectively capture associated transactions.

The system can trigger on basic events, such as specific bus conditions and

packet identifiers (PID). It can also trigger on complex events, such as “trigger on the fifth occurrence of a SETUP Token device number nine” or “trigger on a SET INTERFACE request, following a specified eight byte bulk data pattern match from this scanner, and do not capture any start of frame (SOF) packets.”

You can set the size of the recording memory, specify the pre trigger to post trigger capture ratio, and truncate large data packets up to 256 bytes.

Advanced Event Counting and Sequencing

The count and sequence options define rules for data recording sessions. These options configure and control the order of events selected for triggering or filtering.

Using this feature, you can specify a sequence of up to seven events that must occur before the Analyzer triggers and finishes capturing data, allowing you to specify event types for recording. Without this feature, you may have to scroll through megabytes of recorded data to locate an occurrence of a sequence.

1.1.6BusEngine Technology

The Analyzer uses Teledyne LeCroy BusEngine Technology. The BusEngine core uses Electrically Programmable Logic Device (EPLD) technology and incorporates both a real time recording engine and configurable building blocks that implement data/state/error detection, triggering, capture filtering, external signal monitoring, and event counting and sequencing. Like the flash memory based firmware that controls its operation, all BusEngine logic is fully field upgradeable, using configuration files.

1.2Voyager M3/M3i Analyzer

The Teledyne LeCroy Voyager™ M3/M3i Analyzer and Exerciser system is a multifunction verification system for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 development and testing. It can record traffic and graphically present logical USB transactions and events. It can also generate USB traffic. The system is connected to a laptop or desktop via its USB or Gigabit Ethernet port (see Figure 1.2 on page 20).

Note:The Voyager M3 and Voyager M3i Analyzer and Exerciser are identical in most respects. The major difference is that Voyager M3i can capture VBus Power information. Otherwise, all mentions of Voyager M3 in this manual also apply to Voyager M3i.

Figure 1.2: Voyager M3/M3i Analyzer Exerciser System

Please see the Readme file on the installation CD for the latest information on host machine requirements and supported operating systems.

1.2.1USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 Features

The system can monitor traffic between USB 2.0 links using standard high speed compliant cables.

If configured for USB 3.0 testing, the system supports monitoring between SuperSpeed links using USB 3.0 cables (see Figure 1.3 on page 21)

1.2.2General Description

The Analyzer connects to a portable or desktop host machine through the USB port. The host machine configures and controls the Analyzer. The “CATC Trace™” user interface is an industry standard for documenting the performance of high speed serial protocols.

The USB protocol Analyzer provides traffic capture and analysis. Hardware triggering allows capture of real time events. Hardware filtering allows filtering different packet types in or out of the recording. Filtering also allows you to preserve recording memory, for extended recording time.

USB Protocol Suite User Manual

Teledyne LeCroy Corporation	Voyager M3/M3i Analyzer

The trace viewer application displays recorded data in colored graphics. The application has advanced search and viewing capabilities that allow you to quickly locate specific data, errors, and other conditions.

The system functions with any personal host machine having the Microsoft®

Windows® XP, Windows 8, or Windows 7 (32 or 64) operating system and a functional USB interface or Ethernet port.

The system provides on the fly detection of, and triggering on, such events as Tokens and Errors. Whether recording manually or with a specified trigger condition, the system continuously records the link data, in a wrap around fashion, until manually stopped or until the system detects the Trigger Event and records the specified post trigger amount of link data.

Upon detection of a triggering event, the Analyzer continues to record data up to a point specified by you. You can individually enable or disable real time event detection to allow triggering on events as they happen, including predefined exception or error conditions and user defined sets of trigger events. An externally supplied signal can trigger the Analyzer.

You can use search functions to investigate particular events. In addition to immediate analysis, you can print any part of the data. You can save the data on disk for later viewing. You can generate timing information and data analysis reports.

Please refer to the Universal Serial Bus Specification for details on the protocol. The USB specification is available from the USB Implementers Forum (USB IF) at:

1.2.5Traffic Generation

USB 2.0 and 3.0 traffic generation options allow you to transmit custom packets over standard USB cables with low level control of headers, payloads, timing, and link states. The Exerciser can play back trace files bit for bit, allowing validation engineers to recreate problems reported in the field or test specific functionality.

To build generation script files, you can edit example test scenarios or export any traffic stream from a previously recorded trace. The Voyager Exerciser includes a

Generation Script Editor.

A script pre processor allows you to organize script code and create reusable generation blocks.

For USB 3.0 applications, test scenarios can contain multi stage traffic generation blocks that include Boolean expressions, LOOP, DO CASE, and IF THEN logical branching.

The Voyager USB 2.0 Exerciser can transmit low, full, or high speed traffic and supports both host and device emulation. It is backward compatible with existing USBTrainer traffic generation scripts.

For USB 2.0 applications, the Exerciser supports both bitstream mode or Intelliframe mode. In Intelliframe mode, the Exerciser can wait for the appropriate response from the DUT before transmitting the next packet. For example, after issuing an IN, the generator waits for the DATAx packet returned by the device to finish, and then issues an ACK. When NAKs are received, the Exerciser can automatically resend the previous packet.

The ReadyLink Emulation Mode helps simplify development of USB 3.0 test scenarios.

By default, ReadyLink Emulation Mode automatically manages:

Header Packet Acknowledgements (L_GOOD_n)

Buffer Credit (L_CRD_x)

SKIPs at required intervals (SKP)

Link Synchronization

Responds to LFPS (Polling.LFPS)

Responds to polling sequence (Polling.RxEQ)

Responds to TS1 / TS2 handshaking sequence

Responds to SS.Inactive (with RX.Detect)

Power Management Link Commands

Responds to LGO_Un (with LAU)

Responds to LAU (with LMPA)

Test scripts can customize ReadyLink Emulation Mode to include error scenarios, such as:

Header LBADs

Invalid link commands

8B10B / CRC Error

Running Disparity Error

Corrupt Link Commands

Corrupt Flow Control (Wrong L_CRD_x, Wrong L_GOOD_n, Drop L_Good_n)

Corrupt Header Packet acknowledgement (Send LBAD, LRTY)

Corrupt Packet Framing (SHP, SDP, END)

At the packet level, you can send customized data payloads anywhere within the stream to insert logic errors, perform corner case, or do stress testing. Commands, such as the Set ErrWrongLCRD command, allow link layer error injection anywhere within the script.

1.2.6Notes on LFPS Signals

Voyager Exerciser requires received “Ping” LFPS signals to be a minimum of 150 nanoseconds to be reliably recognized.

Voyager Analyzer can recognize “Ping” LFPS signals above 60 nanoseconds and report their durations to ±15 nanoseconds of accuracy.
