Leveraging its depth of expertise,\ntechnology leadership, and commitment to drive the commercialization of\nRapidIO technology, Tundra has served as a de facto test facility for members\nof the RapidIO ecosystem and OEMs alike, resulting in the development of\nproven test scripts and making the formalization of the RIOLAB a natural\nevolution. Members of the RapidIO Trade Association (RTA) steering committee\nincluding Ericsson, Freescale Semiconductor, Lucent Technologies, Texas\nInstruments, Xilinx, and others immediately communicated their support for the\nRIOLAB initiative as a critical milestone in furthering deployment of RapidIO-\nbased products.\n\"The RIOLAB will give commercial semiconductor vendors, FPGA and ASIC\ndevelopers as well as OEMs, the ability to validate interoperability of their\nproducts to the RapidIO specification, and in the longer-term ensure full\ndevice interoperability, increasing the potential for broader deployment of\nthe RapidIO standard,\" said Jag Bolaria, senior analyst at The Linley Group.\nThe launch of the RIOLAB will accelerate the realization of a test\nfacility that will provide the RapidIO community with formal interoperability\nreports. The RIOLAB will be designed around graduated levels of\ninteroperability that align with the increasing complexity of both the RapidIO\nspecification and the needs of silicon vendors and OEMs. Operating as an\nindependent facility, the RIOLAB will produce consistent and impartial results\nfacilitating seamless integration of multi-vendor components and accelerating\ntime to market for OEM products. The RIOLAB will build upon the foundation of\ninteroperability checklists formalized by the RTA and is expected to be\noperational by summer 2006.\n\"As a founding member of the RapidIO Trade Association, Tundra's depth of\nexpertise and number of years of practical lab experience and interoperabil...
