Systems and methods of exchanging data using a high-speed communication link

A method comprising:

• encoding, at a transmitter of a device, a first block of input data to form a first codeword;
• encoding, at the transmitter, a second block of the input data to form a second codeword;
• generating, at the transmitter, a boundary bit based on at least one bit from each of the first codeword and the second codeword;
• and
• sending, from the transmitter, encoded data via a communication link that includes a set of wires, the encoded data comprising a first set of bit values of the first codeword, a second set of bit values of the second codeword, and the boundary bit, wherein the boundary bit is located between the first set of bit values and the second set of bit values in the encoded data.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• encode, at a transmitter of a device, a first block of input data to form a first codeword;
• encode, at the transmitter, a second block of the input data to form a second codeword;
• generate, at the transmitter, a boundary bit based on at least one bit from each of the first codeword and the second codeword;
• and
• send, from the transmitter, encoded data via a communication link that includes a set of wires, the encoded data comprising a first set of bit values of the first codeword, a second set of bit values of the second codeword, and the boundary bit, wherein the boundary bit is located between the first set of bit values and the second set of bit values in the encoded data.
