Original Abstract Submitted

Method for facilitating testing for an interconnection protocol, a controller, and an electronic device are provided. The method is suitable for an electronic device capable of communicating with another electronic device. The method comprises the following steps. At a controller of the electronic device, a test mode request signal is received to enter a test mode in which data transmission is to be performed by using an advanced line encoding having an improved effective data rate as compared to 8b/10b encoding. At the controller, a test data signal is generated to indicate a test pattern including an ordered set portion and a data pattern portion by using the advanced line encoding. The test data signal is transmitted according to the advanced line encoding through the electronic device to the other electronic device.
