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 common
     IEEE-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 basic
     behavior 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. Camcorders
     implementing 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 or
     are  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.
