Design of a Dual Host Embedded System Interconnect Based on RapidIO

The development of distributed parallel computing puts high demands on the Internet technology in embedded system. RapidIO can provide high performance interconnection between chip to chip,board to board, with higher transmission efficiency than PCIE and Gigabit Ethernet. The paper presents a schematic design,hardware design and software driver of system interconnect with double host based on RapidIO,and proposes a verification scheme for the function design and capability of system interconnect. The system is very stable and reliable, and serves as a good solution to the new generation of high performance embedded system.
