FIREWIRE(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual FIREWIRE(4) NAME firewire -- IEEE1394 High-performance Serial Bus SYNOPSIS 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. And the additional driver can be attached 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 PHY device function. Also, the other firewire bus specific parameters, e.g., node ID, cycle master, isochronous resource manager and bus manager, are dy- namically assigned, after bus rest is initiated. On firewire bus, every device is identified with EUI 64 address. SEE ALSO fwohci(4), pci(4), sbp(4) HISTORY The firewire driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0. AUTHORS The firewire driver was written by Katsushi Kobayashi and Hidetoshi Shimokawa for the NetBSD project. BSD May 23, 2002 BSD
