10 IEEE 1394 describes a high performance serial bus, which is also
11 known as FireWire(tm) or i.Link(tm) and is used for connecting all
12 sorts of devices (most notably digital video cameras) to your
15 If you have FireWire hardware and want to use it, say Y here. This
16 is the core support only, you will also need to select a driver for
17 your IEEE 1394 adapter.
19 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the
20 module will be called ieee1394.
22 config IEEE1394_OHCI1394
23 tristate "OHCI-1394 controllers"
24 depends on PCI && IEEE1394
26 Enable this driver if you have an IEEE 1394 controller based on the
27 OHCI-1394 specification. The current driver is only tested with OHCI
28 chipsets made by Texas Instruments and NEC. Most third-party vendors
29 use one of these chipsets. It should work with any OHCI-1394
30 compliant card, however.
32 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the
33 module will be called ohci1394.
37 You should only build either ohci1394 or the new firewire-ohci driver,
38 but not both. If you nevertheless want to install both, you should
39 configure them only as modules and blacklist the driver(s) which you
40 don't want to have auto-loaded. Add either
42 blacklist firewire-ohci
48 to /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/* and update modprobe.conf
49 depending on your distribution. The latter two modules should be
50 blacklisted together with ohci1394 because they depend on ohci1394.
52 If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist
53 directive, use "install modulename /bin/true" for the modules to be

57 depends on IEEE1394 && I2C=n
59 config IEEE1394_PCILYNX
60 tristate "PCILynx controller"
61 depends on PCI && IEEE1394 && I2C
64 Say Y here if you have an IEEE-1394 controller with the Texas
65 Instruments PCILynx chip. Note: this driver is written for revision
66 2 of this chip and may not work with revision 0.
68 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the
69 module will be called pcilynx.
71 Only some old and now very rare PCI and CardBus cards and
72 PowerMacs G3 B&W contain the PCILynx controller. Therefore
73 almost everybody can say N here.
75 comment "SBP-2 support (for storage devices) requires SCSI"
76 depends on IEEE1394 && SCSI=n
79 tristate "Storage devices (SBP-2 protocol)"
80 depends on IEEE1394 && SCSI
82 This option enables you to use SBP-2 devices connected to an IEEE
83 1394 bus. SBP-2 devices include storage devices like harddisks and
84 DVD drives, also some other FireWire devices like scanners.
86 You should also enable support for disks, CD-ROMs, etc. in the SCSI
87 configuration section.
89 config IEEE1394_SBP2_PHYS_DMA
90 bool "Enable replacement for physical DMA in SBP2"
91 depends on IEEE1394_SBP2 && VIRT_TO_BUS && EXPERIMENTAL
93 This builds sbp2 for use with non-OHCI host adapters which do not
94 support physical DMA or for when ohci1394 is run with phys_dma=0.
95 Physical DMA is data movement without assistance of the drivers'
96 interrupt handlers. This option includes the interrupt handlers
97 that are required in absence of this hardware feature.
99 This option is buggy and currently broken on some architectures.

108 tristate "IP over 1394"
109 depends on IEEE1394 && EXPERIMENTAL && INET
110 select IEEE1394_ETH1394_ROM_ENTRY
112 This driver implements a functional majority of RFC 2734: IPv4 over
113 1394. It will provide IP connectivity with implementations of RFC
114 2734 found on other operating systems. It will not communicate with
115 older versions of this driver found in stock kernels prior to 2.6.3.
116 This driver is still considered experimental. It does not yet support
117 MCAP, therefore multicast support is significantly limited.
119 The module is called eth1394 although it does not emulate Ethernet.
121 config IEEE1394_RAWIO
122 tristate "raw1394 userspace interface"
125 This option adds support for the raw1394 device file which enables
126 direct communication of user programs with IEEE 1394 devices
127 (isochronous and asynchronous). Almost all application programs
128 which access FireWire require this option.
130 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
133 config IEEE1394_VIDEO1394
134 tristate "video1394 userspace interface"
135 depends on IEEE1394 && IEEE1394_OHCI1394
137 This option adds support for the video1394 device files which enable
138 isochronous communication of user programs with IEEE 1394 devices,
139 especially video capture or export. This interface is used by all
140 libdc1394 based programs and by several other programs, in addition to
141 the raw1394 interface. It is generally not required for DV capture.
143 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
146 config IEEE1394_DV1394
147 tristate "dv1394 userspace interface (deprecated)"
148 depends on IEEE1394 && IEEE1394_OHCI1394
150 The dv1394 driver is unsupported and may be removed from Linux in a
151 future release. Its functionality is now provided by raw1394 together
152 with libraries such as libiec61883.
154 config IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG
155 bool "Excessive debugging output"
158 If you say Y here, you will get very verbose debugging logs from the
159 ieee1394 drivers, including sent and received packet headers. This
160 will quickly result in large amounts of data sent to the system log.
162 Say Y if you really need the debugging output. Everyone else says N.
