RapidIO Subsystem Guide

Author: Matt Porter

Introduction

RapidIO is a high speed switched fabric interconnect with features aimed at the embedded market. RapidIO provides support for memory-mapped I/O as well as message-based transactions over the switched fabric network. RapidIO has a standardized discovery mechanism not unlike the PCI bus standard that allows simple detection of devices in a network.

This documentation is provided for developers intending to support RapidIO on new architectures, write new drivers, or to understand the subsystem internals.

Known Bugs and Limitations

Bugs

None. ;)

Limitations

  1. Access/management of RapidIO memory regions is not supported
  2. Multiple host enumeration is not supported

RapidIO driver interface

Drivers are provided a set of calls in order to interface with the subsystem to gather info on devices, request/map memory region resources, and manage mailboxes/doorbells.
