ieee1394, firewire, 1394 - illumos IEEE-1394 Architecture 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 devices and cameras (including webcam-type devices). For more information on IEEE-1394, refer to the 1394 Trade Association website at http://www.1394ta.org.

The illumos 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 capabilities of the attached device.

The illumos IEEE-1394 architecture supports devices implementing 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 implementing the ANSI SBP-2 specification are supported. Digital cameras implementing the 1394 Trade Association 1394-based Digital Camera (IIDC) specification are supported.

Listed below are drivers and modules which either utilize or are utilized by the illumos IEEE-1394 architecture.
