Overview
The LogiCORE™ IP Serial RapidIO Gen 2 Endpoint solution, designed to RapidIO Gen 2.1 specification, comprises of a highly flexible and optimized Serial RapidIO Physical Layer core and a Logical (I/O) and Transport Layer core. This IP solution is provided in netlist form with supporting example design code. The Gen 2 IP supports 1x, 2x, and 4x lane widths. It comes with a configurable buffer design, reference clock module, reset module, and configuration fabric reference design, which allows complete flexibility in selection functional blocks needed for a given application. This solution supports Verilog design environment. This IP core utilizes AXI-4 Streaming interface for data path and AXI-4 Lite interface for configuration (maintenance) transactions. This core is designed to ensure predictable timing, thereby significantly reducing engineering time investment and allowing resources to be focused on user-specific application logic.

Designers have many different options for implementing a RapidIO interconnect. This article outlines the decision factors that designers should consider, organized by project development phases: system design, implementation, system verification, and system evolution. A last section discusses support services, which impact all stages of project development.
RapidIO is an open, standards-based interconnection technology for midsize and large embedded systems. It enables packet-switched, peer-to-peer connections among ASICs, DSPs, FPGAs, microprocessors, network processors and backplanes, with speeds of up to
