The new stack is now recommended over the old one if used for industrial video (IIDC/DCAM) or for storage devices (SBP-2) due to better performance, improved compatibility, added features, and security. It should also be functionally on par with and is more secure than the old ieee1394 stack in the use case of consumer video devices. IP-over-1394 support for the new stack is currently emerging, and a backend of the firedtv DVB driver to the new stack should be available soon. The one remaining area where the old stack is still required are audio devices, as the new stack is not yet able to support the FFADO FireWire audio framework.

This is the new-generation IEEE 1394 (FireWire) driver stack
|
|
a.k.a. Juju, a new implementation designed for robustness and
|
|
simplicity.
|
|
See http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration
|
|
for information about migration from the older Linux 1394 stack
|
|
to the new driver stack.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
|
|
called firewire-core.
|
|
|
|
This module functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394, and video1394.
|
|
To access it from application programs, you generally need at least
|
|
libraw1394 v2. IIDC/DCAM applications need libdc1394 v2.
|
|
No libraries are required to access storage devices through the
|
|
firewire-sbp2 driver.
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
FireWire audio devices currently require the old drivers (ieee1394,
|
|
ohci1394, raw1394).

Enable this driver if you have a FireWire controller based
|
|
on the OHCI specification. For all practical purposes, this
|
|
is the only chipset in use, so say Y here.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
|
|
called firewire-ohci. It replaces ohci1394 of the classic IEEE 1394
|
|
stack.
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
If you want to install firewire-ohci and ohci1394 together, you
|
|
should configure them only as modules and blacklist the driver(s)
|
|
which you don't want to have auto-loaded. Add either
|
|
|
|
blacklist firewire-ohci
|
|
or
|
|
blacklist ohci1394
|
|
blacklist video1394
|
|
blacklist dv1394
|
|
|
|
to /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/* and update modprobe.conf
|
|
depending on your distribution.

This option enables you to use SBP-2 devices connected to a
|
|
FireWire bus. SBP-2 devices include storage devices like
|
|
harddisks and DVD drives, also some other FireWire devices
|
|
like scanners.

To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
|
|
called firewire-sbp2. It replaces sbp2 of the classic IEEE 1394
|

You should also enable support for disks, CD-ROMs, etc. in the SCSI
|
|
configuration section.

This enables IPv4 over IEEE 1394, providing IP connectivity with
|

other implementations of RFC 2734 as found on several operating
|
|
systems. Multicast support is currently limited.

NOTE, this driver is not stable yet!
