We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "RapidIO",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Basestation processors sport 16 virtual CPUs from
Raza Microelectronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "First multicore multithreaded processor with integrated support for Serial RapidIO interface as well as for IEEE1588 precision timing protocol controller".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release VMEbus board provides serial resources from
Pentek: "Pentek's Model 4207board brings to designers power, speed and connectivity in a single-slot solution".
In January 2008, we covered the news from VMETRO
concerning its MM-1200 and VCX301
- take a look at Carriers expand VITA 46 at 3 and 6U
which says: "The MM-1200 and VCX301 are suited for use in deployed signal processing systems such as electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Pentek, ADCs and FPGA enhance multiband transceiver,
as well as Low-cost serdes FPGAs available in volume from Lattice Semiconductor UK,
and Switch card supports multiple VXS boards from GE Fanuc Embedded Systems.
