7.20 Serial RapidIO (SRIO) Port
7.20.1 Serial RapidIO Device-Specific Information
7.20.2 Serial RapidIO Peripheral Register Description(s)
TMS320C6455
Fixed-Point Digital Signal Processor
SPRS276H–MAY 2005–REVISED OCTOBER 2007
The SRIO port on the C6455 device is a high-performance, low pin-count interconnect aimed for
embedded markets. The use of the Rapid I/O interconnect in a baseband board design can create a
homogeneous interconnect environment, providing even more connectivity and control among the
components. Rapid I/O is based on the memory and device addressing concepts of processor buses
where the transaction processing is managed completely by hardware. This enables the Rapid I/O
interconnect to lower the system cost by providing lower latency, reduced overhead of packet data
processing, and higher system bandwidth, all of which are key for wireless interfaces. The Rapid I/O
interconnect offers very low pin-count interfaces with scalable system bandwidth based on 10-Gigabit per
second (Gbps) bidirectional links.
The PHY part of the RIO consists of the physical layer and includes the input and output buffers (each
serial link consists of a differential pair), the 8-bit/10-bit encoder/decoder, the PLL clock recovery, and the
parallel-to-serial/serial-to-parallel converters.
The RapidIO interface should be designed to operate at a data rate of 3.125 Gbps per differential pair.
This equals 12.5 raw GBaud/s for the 4x RapidIO port, or approximately 9 Gbps data throughput rate.
The approach to specifying interface timing for the SRIO Port is different than on other interfaces such as
EMIF, HPI, and McBSP. For these other interfaces the device timing was specified in terms of data
manual specifications and I/O buffer information specification (IBIS) models.
For the C6455 SRIO Port, Texas Instruments (TI) provides a printed circuit board (PCB) solution showing
two DSPs connected via a 4x SRIO link directly to the user. TI has performed the simulation and system
characterization to ensure all SRIO interface timings in this solution are met. The complete SRIO system
solution is documented in the
Implementing Serial Rapid I/O PCB Layout on a TMS320C6455 Hardware
Design
application report (literature number
SPRAAA8
).
TI
only
supports designs that follow the board design guidelines outlined in the SPRAAA8
application report.
The Serial RapidIO peripheral is a master peripheral in the C6455 DSP. It conforms to the
RapidIO
Interconnect Specification, Part VI: Physical Layer 1x/4x LP-Serial Specification, Revision 1.2
.
If the SRIO peripheral is not used, the SRIO reference clock inputs and SRIO link pins can be left
unconnected. If the SRIO peripheral is enabled but not all links are used, the pins of the unused links can
be left unconnected and no terminations are needed. For more information, see the
