Hi, TI,

I'd liketo know a working device mode , retimer or redriver mode. How to know the working mode, retimer or redriver ?

Hi Toshi,

If you have the EVM you can use EyeScan tool you can check the PLL status.
When the PLL is locked, TMDS181 is in retimer mode.

Hi Toshi,

In eyeScan Tool, you can see it in "Register Starts/Control" tab,

I'll send you and email with directions if you want to read the raw register.
