Abstract :
The RapidIO interconnect specification represents the state of the art in standards. development. This software-transparent specification resolves an essential design bottleneck while also creating a clear migration path for systems based on existing or legacy architectures. The process of bringing this specification to market demonstrates that contributing to a collaborative standards development effort can be beneficial to all the participants. Designing to the specification can reduce manufacturing costs and time to market while significantly increasing bandwidth
