7Introduction
8============
9
10RapidIO is a high speed switched fabric interconnect with features aimed
11at the embedded market. RapidIO provides support for memory-mapped I/O
12as well as message-based transactions over the switched fabric network.
13RapidIO has a standardized discovery mechanism not unlike the PCI bus
14standard that allows simple detection of devices in a network.

16This documentation is provided for developers intending to support
17RapidIO on new architectures, write new drivers, or to understand the
18subsystem internals.

28Limitations
29-----------
30
311. Access/management of RapidIO memory regions is not supported
32
332. Multiple host enumeration is not supported
34
35RapidIO driver interface
36========================
37
38Drivers are provided a set of calls in order to interface with the
39subsystem to gather info on devices, request/map memory region
40resources, and manage mailboxes/doorbells.
