This webcast will be useful for those developers/system architects who are planning to use or who are considering using RapidIO technology in their designs.
The RapidIO standard seamlessly enables chip-to-chip, board-to-board, and system-level connections. This packet-switched architecture is partitioned into a three-layer hierarchy of logical, transport, and physical layers, which are all transparent to software, allowing any type of data to run over it. The RapidIO standard defines architectural features that enable device software to run better, faster, more reliably, and scale easily to multi-processor designs.
This webcast will review the RapidIO architecture's features that make it software-friendly and how to realize the benefits of these advanced features. Leading Operating System vendors, including QNX, will provide details about how their various software offerings leverage RapidIO technology, including discussion of their related drivers, board support packages, and platforms.
This webcast will be useful for those developers/system architects who are planning to use or who are considering using RapidIO technology in their designs. It will last for a full hour with Q&A. There are no prerequisites for this webcast.
