1. A method of facilitating testing for an interconnection protocol, the method comprising:
at a controller of the electronic device, in response to receiving a test mode request signal, entering a test mode in which data transmission is performed using advanced line encoding;
generating, by the controller using the advanced line encoding, a test pattern including an ordered set including a first ordered set pattern and a data pattern including a first data pattern; and
transmitting the test pattern according to the advanced line encoding from the electronic device to a second electronic device, wherein the first ordered set pattern is transmitted for symbol alignment before the first data pattern is transmitted.
