8 ieee1394, firewire, 1394 \- Solaris IEEE-1394 Architecture
12 IEEE-1394 provides a means for interconnecting devices in computer and home
13 entertainment systems. (The IEEE-1394 architecture is also known as Firewire,
14 an Apple Computer trademark, and i.Link, a Sony trademark). The most common
15 IEEE-1394 devices are digital camcorders, mass-storage devices and cameras
16 (including webcam-type devices). For more information on USB, refer to the 1394
17 Trade Association website at http://\fIwww.1394ta.org\fR.
20 The Solaris IEEE-1394 architecture supports up to 63 hot-pluggable IEEE-1394
21 devices per IEEE-1394 bus. The maximum data transfer rate is 400 Mbits,
22 depending on the capabilities of the attached device.
25 The Solaris IEEE-1394 architecture supports devices implementing a number of
26 different specifications. The basic behavior of the IEEE-1394 bus is described
27 in the \fIIEEE 1394-1995\fR and \fIIEEE 1394a-2000\fR specifications.
30 IEEE-1394 host controllers implementing the 1394 Open Host Controller Interface
31 specification are supported. Camcorders implementing the \fIIEC 61883\fR
32 and 1394 Trade Association AV/C specifications are supported. Mass-storage
33 devices implementing the \fIANSI SBP-2\fR specification are supported. Digital
34 cameras implementing the 1394 Trade Association 1394-based Digital Camera
35 (IIDC) specification are supported.
39 Listed below are drivers and modules which either utilize or are utilized by
40 the Solaris IEEE-1394 architecture. Drivers in \fB/kernel/drv\fR are 32 bit
41 drivers (only). Drivers in \fB/kernel/drv/sparcv9\fR or \fB/kernel/drv/amd64\fR

120 Booting from IEEE-1394 mass-storage devices is not supported, but may be
121 possible if supported by the BIOS of the computer system.
