Training a Data Path for Parallel Data Transfer

A system and method for training a data path for parallel data transfer are presented. A first part of the method includes determining a delay setting for each coupling of a plurality of parallel couplings between a first device and a second device. The delay setting for each coupling may substantially align reception of signals transmitted from the first device to the second device on each coupling with a system clock. A second part of the method includes determining the alignment of the plurality of parallel couplings relative to each other. A timing adjustment for one or more of the plurality of parallel couplings may then be determined, whereby after the timing adjustment, signals transmitted from the first device to the second device on the plurality of couplings are received by the second device in alignment with each other.
