[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nOTTAWA, Feb. 1 /CNW Telbec/ - Tundra Semiconductor Corporation (TSX:TUN),\nthe leader in System Interconnect, and Fabric Embedded Tools Corporation\n(FET), the leading provider of RapidIO(R) software and tools, announced today\nthat FET has acquired the business and operations of RIOLAB(TM), the world's\nfirst RapidIO Interoperability testing facility.\n\n\nRIOLAB was established by Tundra in February 2006 as an independent\nfacility designed to give commercial semiconductor vendors, FPGA and ASIC\ndevelopers, and OEMs, the ability to validate interoperability of their\nproducts and test for specification compliance. The transfer of RIOLAB to FET\nmarks the early achievement of a significant RIOLAB milestone - to transition\nthe lab within 12 to 18 months of operation to a qualified independent\nthird-party vendor within the ecosystem - a goal set when Tundra originally\nestablished the facility. From its inception, FET has provided its expertise\nto the development of the lab's interoperability test infrastructure making\nthis transition a natural evolution for RIOLAB and its customers. As part of\nthe transition, RIOLAB will relocate to a new facility in Ottawa, Ontario at\n349 Terry Fox Drive, and will resume full operations by the end of\nFebruary 2007.\n\n\n\"In starting RIOLAB, Tundra again demonstrated RapidIO leadership, and\nfilled an important need to have an independent test facility focused on\ndevice interoperability and specification compliance within the RapidIO\necosystem,\" said Tom Cox, executive director of the RapidIO Trade Association.\n\"With FET, an expert in the embedded test marketplace, RIOLAB will be\nwell-equipped to continue providing state-of-the-art testing as RapidIO\ntechnology continues to be embraced as the standard in a wide range of\nembedded markets.\"\n\n\nRIOLAB was designed to provide graduated levels of interoperability that\nalign with both the RapidIO specification and the needs of silicon vendors and\nOEMs. The interoperability tests build on the RapidIO Trade Association's\nDevice Interoperability and Certification Checklists which were developed for\necosystem members. Currently tests are available for Device Interoperability\nLevels - DIL-1, DIL-2, and DIL-3. RIOLAB will continue to add to its\ncapabilities as the market develops, testing needs mature and the\nspecification...
