You must connect any unconnected clocks and other components in your system.

To support external connections, you must export them. Click Click to export in the Export column for the rapidio_0.clk and rapidio_0.exported_connections ports. The clk_0.clk_in and clk_0.clk_in_reset signals are already exported.

For the external RapidIO processing elements to access the internal registers of the RapidIO variation, your system must meet the following criteria:

  • The Maintenance Master port must be connected to the System Maintenance Slave port.
  • The System Maintenance Slave port Base address must be assigned to address 0x0.

The following sections show you how to make these connections and assignments, and others required for the design example.
