PUERTOS FIREWIRE IEEE 1394 DRIVER
Furthermore, there are some fundamental bugs and security considerations with the old stack which to a large part motivated the rewrite of the driver stack.įIXME: Add a Wiki page on FireWire security. Instead of 3 or 5 userspace interfaces in the old stack, there is a single universal interface in the new stack. The latter provides a noticeable speedup of SBP-2 and other asynchronous protocols. There are already some features in the new stack which the old one lacks, notably bus manager capability and so-called gap count optimization.
PUERTOS FIREWIRE IEEE 1394 CODE
The code base of the new stack is smaller, cleaner, and closer follows modern Linux kernel programming paradigms. If you are having trouble with the new drivers, do not hesitate to get in touch via the Mailinglists.
PUERTOS FIREWIRE IEEE 1394 DRIVERS
Libraw1394 v2 falls back to access the old drivers if the new ones are not loaded/ not bound to hardware, transparently to libraw1394 based libraries and applications. create proper blacklist entries in /etc/nf as explained below to avoid auto-loading of the wrong drivers. However, care needs to be taken to keep in control which drivers are loaded.
PUERTOS FIREWIRE IEEE 1394 INSTALL
Installation of old drivers as fallback if the new ones are insufficientĪs a migration aid, it is possible until kernel 2.6.36 inclusive to build and install the new and the old drivers together. VT6306 are shown by lspci as rev 46 higher chip revisions denote VT6307 or VT6308 which were apparently not affected by this problem. Historical note: VIA VT6306 did not work properly for DV capture with gstreamer's dv1394src plugin or with the DV4Linux tool ( report).
(Instead, they use this hardware as a bus analyzer with the stand-alone driver nosy rather than as a controller with the old ieee1394 pcilynx driver.) For all practical purposes, PCILynx controllers are not actually supported in the old stack either, and there was never any PCILynx owner who cared. Note that their support in the old stack is extremely limited as well (no isochronous I/O which means no video, no audio, not even IP over 1394 slow and possibly very unstable SBP-2 support i.e. Unlike TI OHCI-Lynx, PCILynx do not implement the OHCI-1394 standard and are nowadays very rare, hence it is unlikely that support for them will ever be written for the new driver stack. No support for PCILynx or PCILynx2 controllers. These problems did apparently not happen with the older ohci1394 driver, but the extent to which these card worked (or didn't) with ohci1394 is not clear. Note that there were reports that NForce2 did not work for some with the old drivers either, so this may not actually be a regression.įirewire-ohci hangs in an interrupt loop at shutdown or panics already at startup. It is possible to use a cheap FireWire PCI controller in all affected machines instead. May or may not work with the old drivers, do not yet work with the new drivers. It is possible to use a cheap CardBus FireWire controller in all affected machines instead.
These controllers are very rare nowadays. There seem to be problems with this controller, found in PowerBook G3 Pismo and G4 Titanium. They were available as mid-range priced PCI cards (possibly also CardBus cards) and can be swapped for any cheap FireWire PCI card or CardBus card as a stop-gap solution. These controllers are comparably rare though. Some cards with these controllers don't work yet. New stack not yet working as the old stack does IP over 1394 users should use kernel 2.6.38 or later.
Some old camcorders require kernel 3.1 or later and libraw1394 2.0.8 or later. Recommended for audio devices are kernel 2.6.36 or later, libraw1394 2.0.7 or later, and libffado 2.1.0 or later. There are known issues with some rare controllers or rarely used software, see below.Īudio devices require kernel 2.6.32 or later, libraw1394 2.0.5 or later, and libffado 2.0.1 or later.
