Controlling the Active Discovery Process• Select Discovery options such as:

– Lock PE’s for multi-host environments

– Pre-set Destination IDs to look for already enumerated devices that fail to comply with the RapidIO spec’s requirement to respond to a request using Dest ID 0xFFS ll li k f i til– Scan all link frequencies until a trained device is found (3-5 different link speeds)

– Large vs Small transportEt– Etc

• Select enumeration options such as:

– Host ID– ID of first PE found– Increment for each PE found

• Select Routing table Initialization settings such as:


settings such as:– Upload or generate and download

Loopback Diagnostic Mode

• First step to setting up a loopback test is toloopback test is to Discover your test system using Virtual Destination IDs

• Virtual Destination IDs is• Virtual Destination IDs is a new technique FET has developed of assigning Destination IDs to switches andIDs to switches and Endpoints that allow you to create multiple independent routing paths through yourpaths through your network



• You can select a path pbetween any two Endpoints including a loop back path from an endpoint back toan endpoint back to itself using the DestID as the source and the Virtual DestID as the target.



• Then press the Bidirectional Route button to add this customized routing path.

• A loopback path is only possible when you select a Virtual Destination ID (VDID) as the destination.destination.



• Verify the path by• Verify the path by selecting the Node1 as the source and the Node1 again as the destination.

• Select the appropriate DID and VDID pair.

• And the route will be highlighted in Blue if the routing tables were ou g ab es e eproperly modified.


Loopback Testing

• You can also verify the 12

ypath explicitly by looking at the routing tables.

Loopback TestingSee traffic with Performance Monitors


Generate traffic around the loop

Loopback Testing• If you put a known data sequence in

the Traffic Generator output buffer, you can verify that the correct data you ca e y t at t e co ect datais being received.

• In this example, the RapidFET Probe2 is being used to generate traffic Its data output buffer istraffic. Its data output buffer is located at 0x861000.


Loopback Testing• Verify the location where the data

from received packets are being written (0x801000) to see that itwritten (0x801000) to see that it matches the know data pattern

Adaptive Routing

• Route1: DID:Ah to DID:5h

• Route2: DID:Ah to VDID:6h• Route2: DID:Ah to VDID:6h

• Route3: DID:Ah to VDID:7h


VDID : 06h, 07h

Adaptive Routing

• Route1: DID:Ah to DID:5h

• Route2: DID:Ah to VDID:6h• Route2: DID:Ah to VDID:6h

• Route3: DID:Ah to VDID:7h

• All reverse routes in order f ll d l hto create full duplex paths

are also possible when you also assign VDIDs to Card1


VDID : 06h, 07hVDID : 0Bh, 0CH

Adaptive Routing and Loopback System Monitoring

• Further, you can add a loopback path for a host to monitor the entire switch card in real timecard in real time as a maintenance function

• Loopback and Adaptive routing are now possible pin RapidIO by using Virtual Destination IDs and RapidFET
