RIOLAB also announced the first four\nqualified vendors: Fabric Embedded Tools Corporation (FET), Nexus Technology,\nSilicon Turnkey Express (STx), and Tektronix. RIOLAB runs a state-of-the-art\nindependent testing facility that provides device interoperability and\nspecification compliance reporting that meets the growing needs of silicon\nvendors and OEMs using the RapidIO interconnect standard.\n\"The Qualified Vendor Program adds value from every perspective. There is\ngreater participation from ecosystem vendors, RIOLAB gains access to leading\nedge products and equipment, and customers of the lab can use and test their\nproducts in a real-life setting with state-of-the-art products that are\ncompliant with the RapidIO specification,\" said Rick O'Connor, chief\ntechnology officer at Tundra Semiconductor Corporation, the company that\nlaunched RIOLAB last February.\nThe QVP creates a mutually beneficial partnership opportunity for RIOLAB\nand RapidIO ecosystem vendors. Ecosystem vendors value the opportunity to be\nshowcased within RIOLAB, where they achieve greater visibility of the\ninteroperability of their products and equipment. RIOLAB benefits from the\nbreadth of RapidIO ecosystem participation and products while becoming a world-\nclass testing facility. The QVP participants have contributed hardware or\nsoftware and have demonstrated compliance to the RapidIO specification. In\naddition, these vendors have agreed to work with RIOLAB to provide any\nupgrades or new products, ensuring that the lab is always using state-of-the-\nart technology. Tektronix and Nexus Technology are delivering logic analyzers\nand bus supports, FET is providing software tools, and STx is contributing\nhardware.\n\"As a leader in the test equipment market, Tektronix plays a significant\nrole in the development and support of the RIOLAB test infrastruc...
