Hi, 

I have the following doubts: 

I am unable to find which serial rapidIO spec (like 1.3 or 2.1) the Cyclone IV GX (EP4Cgx150CF23C7N) FPGA follows. I actually require any specific electrical specs because i want to connect my FPGA with texas multicore DSP. 

 

Thanks.

hi, 

yes it is written like that;but for the Cyclone IV GX (EP4CGX150CF23C7N),if we see the transceiver architecture, it says that for rapidIO mode the word aligner is compliant to the SRIO Specification 1.3. If that is the case, can I follow specification 1.3 or shall I follow specification 2.1?
