RapidIO Synthesizable Transactor
RapidIO Synthesizable Transactor provides a smart way to verify the RapidIO bi-directional two-wire bus.
Overview
RapidIO Synthesizable Transactor provides a smart way to verify the RapidIO bi-directional two-wire bus. RapidIO Synthesizable Transactor provides a smart way to verify the RapidIO component of a SOC or a ASIC in Emulator or FPGA platform. The SmartDV's RapidIO Synthesizable Transactor is compliant with RapidIO Trade Association, RapidIO Interconnect Specification version 1.3, 2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and 4.0. RapidIO VIP is implemented in a layered fashion. Whichis basically divided into a physical layer, transport layer and logical layer.
