"The Xilinx solution brings the promise of RapidIO into reality and allows system architects to start building their next generation systems right away. RapidIO is quickly gaining acceptance as the interconnect of choice for major networking and telecommunication infrastructure."
Sam Fuller, president of the RapidIO Trade Association.
"We're working with Xilinx to provide our embedded PowerPC™ customers with new development options for their products. We believe Xilinx integration of PowerPC, Virtex™-II Pro, and RapidIO technologies represents a unique and powerful combination."
Scottie Ginn, vice president of standard products for the IBM Microelectronics Division.
"RapidIO technology is beginning to permeate the embedded DSP systems market and is especially applicable in areas such as military communications and commercial wireless infrastructure. Spectrum Signal Processing believes that the use of programmable logic, such as Xilinx Virtex-II series devices, is an important element in the creation of RapidIO-based switched fabric architectures. Spectrum is utilizing RapidIO technology in our SDR-3000 software defined radio transceiver subsystems."
