NAME
ieee1394, firewire, 1394 - Solaris IEEE-1394 Architecture
DESCRIPTION
IEEE-1394 provides a means for interconnecting devices in
computer and home entertainment systems. (The IEEE-1394
architecture is also known as Firewire, an Apple Computer trademark, and i.Link, a Sony trademark). The most commonIEEE-1394 devices are digital camcorders, mass-storage dev-
ices and cameras (including webcam-type devices). For more
information on USB, refer to the 1394 Trade Association web-
site at http://www.1394ta.org.The Solaris IEEE-1394 architecture supports up to 63 hot-
pluggable IEEE-1394 devices per IEEE-1394 bus. The maximum
data transfer rate is 400 Mbits, depending on the capabili-
ties of the attached device.The Solaris IEEE-1394 architecture supports devices imple-
menting a number of different specifications. The basicbehavior of the IEEE-1394 bus is described in the IEEE
1394-1995 and IEEE 1394a-2000 specifications.
IEEE-1394 host controllers implementing the 1394 Open Host
Controller Interface specification are supported. Camcordersimplementing the IEC 61883 and 1394 Trade Association AV/C
specifications are supported. Mass-storage devices imple-
menting the ANSI SBP-2 specification are supported. Digital
cameras implementing the 1394 Trade Association 1394-based
Digital Camera (IIDC) specification are supported. FILES Listed below are drivers and modules which either utilize orare utilized by the Solaris IEEE-1394 architecture. Drivers
in /kernel/drv are 32 bit drivers (only). Drivers in /kernel/drv/sparcv9 or /kernel/drv/amd64 are 64 bit drivers.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 3 Apr 2009 1
