Interoperability Testing
Altera performs interoperability tests on the RapidIO IP core, which certify that the
RapidIO IP core is compatible with third-party RapidIO devices.
Altera performs interoperability testing with processors and switches from various
manufacturers including:
■ Texas Instruments Incorporated
■ Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT)
Testing of additional devices is an on-going process.
In addition, the RapidIO IP core v9.0 successfully passed RIOLAB’s Device
Interoperability Level-3 (DIL-3) testing in 2009.
