''FireWire drivers for Linux which are (or were) not part of the mainline source distribution, for varying reasons'' __TOC__ == Out-of-tree drivers == * [http://sourceforge.net/projects/video-2-1394/ DFG1394] a.k.a. video-2-1394, a video4linux driver for [http://www.theimagingsource.com/ The Imaging Source]'s [http://www.theimagingsource.com/en/products/converters/dfg13941e/overview/ DFG/1394-1] frame grabber. The driver is unmaintained and made obsolete by the userspace framework [http://www.unicap-imaging.org/ Unicap]. * [http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kprivate.git;a=shortlog;h=fireworks fireworks], an audio driver with ALSA interface for Echo Audio, Gibson, and Mackie Onyx FireWire devices, currently in development ** [https://github.com/takaswie/snd-firewire-improve fireworks derivative] by Takashi Sakamoto * [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1155161&group_id=2252&atid=352252 gp2lynx], a lowlevel driver for Texas Instruments' GP2Lynx TSB12LV32 (unmaintained) * [http://lisight.sourceforge.net/ liSight], an audio driver with ALSA interface for Apple's FireWire iSight camera (ieee1394 based driver; superseded by the firewire-core based snd-isight driver in Linux 3.0) * [http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/mem1394 mem1394], a highlevel driver for debugging and forensics of remote nodes * [http://mlanalsa.sourceforge.net/ mlanalsa] a.k.a. Linux ALSA-AMDTP Module, a Linux 2.4 driver which exposes MLAN/ IEC 61883-6 compatible audio devices via ALSA interface. == Remarks == Highlevel drivers may also be implemented in userspace on top of libraw1394 or libdc1394. This approach is actually taken by most of the projects in the audio, video, or data acquisition domains. If you have a driver project which you think is best implemented in kernelspace, don't hesitate to submit it for integration into mainline. See [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/SubmittingDrivers Submitting Drivers For The Linux Kernel]. If you are past the decision-making pro mainline submission, see [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/SubmitChecklist Linux Kernel patch submission checklist]. == Drivers which have been merged recently == === Merged in 2.6.36 === * [http://bitplanet.net/nosy/ nosy] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20080225222139/http://bitplanet.net/nosy/ snapshot] at archive.org) turns a PCILynx card into a bus analyzer. Written by Kristian Høgsberg. It was previously hosted in a stand-alone [http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~krh/nosy/ source repository]. The driver is now located in [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=tree;f=drivers/firewire drivers/firewire/] of the mainline kernel sources. The userspace frontend nosy-dump is provided in [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=tree;f=tools/firewire tools/firewire/] of the kernel sources. === Merged in 2.6.29 === * '''firedtv''' (formerly known as '''firesat''') : V4L/DVB driver for FireDTV and FloppyDTV devices from [http://www.digital-everywhere.com/ digital everywhere]. These are DVB capture devices which are attached vie FireWire. Similar devices are available from [http://www.elgato.com/ Elgato] under the EyeTV brand, but their firmwares are not supported by the driver for now. : The driver went through linuxtv.org's [http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/24bc99070e97/v4l_experimental/firesat/ v4l_experimental repo] and through Greg KH's [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git staging tree] and is now updated in [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6.git;a=heads firedtv branches of linux1394-2.6.git] in order to prepare it for mainline merge. : Further resources: :: [http://firedtv.bbackx.com/ Ben Backx' site] :: [http://firesat.kurelid.se/ Henrik Kurelid's site] :: [http://forum.digital-everywhere.com/viewforum.php?f=33 digital everywhere's user forum] :: [http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-driver-devel/2008/6/14/2128774 a discussion of firesat] at the Linux Driver Project's mailinglist :: [http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/19/501 a note to lkml] and linux1394-devel and v4l-dvb-maintainer :: [http://user.in-berlin.de/~s5r6/linux1394/firedtv/ how to fetch the latest code] via ''git'' or ''quilt'' or as single patch :: [http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/16/270 review posting to lkml] and linux1394-devel and linux-media :: [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a792cd12cf07cf77c7d1d41b46b4f8327ecf82d0 mainline merge commit] pre 2.6.29-rc7 === Merged in 2.6.25 === * [http://www.suse.de/~bk/firewire/ ohci1394_earlyinit], a minimal OHCI lowlevel driver for early debugging from remote — This driver has been included in Linux 2.6.25 under the name init_ohci1394_dma which can be enabled by the option PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT (Provide code for enabling DMA over FireWire early on boot) in the "Kernel hacking" menu of the kernel configuration.
