The Prodigy Serial RapidIO Protocol Analyzer (PGY-SRIO-PA) captures and decodes Serial RapidIO (SRIO) traffic for protocol verification, debug and system validation. It supports RapidIO Gen1 and Gen2 signaling at up to 10 Gbaud per lane on 1-lane and 4-lane links, decodes full RapidIO 4.1 packet formats and control symbols in real time, and records both link directions at once into a buffer of up to 64 GB. The compact unit works on the bench and in the field. Pertech is the authorized Prodigy distributor.
Serial RapidIO analyzer highlights
- RapidIO Gen1 and Gen2, 1.25, 2.5, 3.125, 5.0, 6.25 and 10 Gbaud per lane
- 4-lane links on QSFP+ and 1-lane links through an SFP+ adapter, optical or copper
- Dual QSFP+ ports capture Link A and Link B at the same time, with a time-correlated dual trace view
- Decodes RapidIO 4.1 Class 1 and Class 2 packets, including maintenance, messaging, doorbell, NWRITE and NREAD
- Full control symbol decode, including SOP, EOP, REPLAY and link requests, plus symbol-level raw view after 8b/10b
- Hardware triggers on packet fields, control symbols or an external input, with up to 8-level if-then-else state machines
- Hardware filters, and up to 64 GB circular buffer with adjustable pre-trigger depth
- Trigger in and out (LVTTL), Windows and Linux software, USB 3.0 Type-C, CSV and TXT export
Where the Serial RapidIO analyzer earns its keep
- Protocol compliance verification of SRIO endpoints and switches
- Debugging host and device interactions on both directions of a link at once
- System validation in the lab and field debugging on deployed equipment
- Catching rare link events with deep buffers and multi-level triggers

Frequently asked questions
Which Serial RapidIO versions and speeds are supported?
RapidIO Gen1 and Gen2 signaling at 1.25, 2.5, 3.125, 5.0, 6.25 and 10 Gbaud per lane, with full decode of RapidIO 4.1 Class 1 and Class 2 packets.
Can it capture both directions of a link?
Yes. Two QSFP+ ports capture Link A and Link B at the same time, and a time-correlated dual trace view shows both directions side by side.
How much data can it store?
It has a circular buffer of up to 64 GB, 1 GB by default, with pre-trigger depth adjustable in 125 MB steps, and hardware filters to keep irrelevant packets out.
Does the software run on Linux?
Yes. The software runs on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) and on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
