The main operating modes of the message unit are as follows:
Outbound message controllers:
— Direct mode. There are no descriptors, and software must initialize the required fields
before starting a transfer.
— Chaining mode. Software must initialize descriptors in memory and the required fields
before starting a transfer.
— Multicast mode. Single-segment messages can be transferred up to 32 destinations.
Inbound message controllers:
— Direct mode. There are no descriptors, and software must initialize the required fields
before starting a transfer.

1x/4x LP-Serial Signals
Table 16-1 describes the serial RapidIO signal functionality. For details on electrical
characteristics, refer to the RapidIO Interconnect Specification, Revision 1.2.
16.2 RapidIO Interface Basics
This section summarizes the RapidIO transactions, packet format, and control symbols. It also
discusses how the configuration registers are accessed via the RapidIO packets and the operation
of the ATMU translation windows for translating RapidIO addresses to local physical addresses
and vice versa.
