FIREWIRE(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual FIREWIRE(4) NAME firewire -- IEEE1394 High-performance Serial Bus SYNOPSIS kldload firewire or device firewire #include <dev/firewire/firewire.h> DESCRIPTION FreeBSD provides machine-independent bus support and raw drivers for firewire interfaces. The firewire driver consists of two layers: the controller and the bus layer. The controller attaches to a physical bus (like pci(4)). The firewire bus attaches to the controller. Additional drivers can be at- tached to the bus. Up to 63 devices, including the host itself, can be attached to a firewire bus. The root node is dynamically assigned with a PHY device function. Also, the other firewire bus specific parameters, e.g., node ID, cycle mas- ter, isochronous resource manager and bus manager, are dynamically as- signed, after bus reset is initiated. On the firewire bus, every device is identified by an EUI 64 address.

AUTHORS The firewire driver was written by Katsushi Kobayashi and Hidetoshi Shimokawa for the FreeBSD project. BUGS See fwohci(4) for security notes. FreeBSD 5.5 December 14, 2004 FIREWIRE(4)
