1*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhat: video1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-1394 Video support" for FireWire) 2*4882a593SmuzhiyunDate: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37 3*4882a593SmuzhiyunContact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net 4*4882a593SmuzhiyunDescription: 5*4882a593Smuzhiyun /dev/video1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire 6*4882a593Smuzhiyun controller, which were used for isochronous I/O. It was added as an 7*4882a593Smuzhiyun alternative to raw1394's isochronous I/O functionality which had 8*4882a593Smuzhiyun performance issues in its first generation. Any video1394 user had 9*4882a593Smuzhiyun to use raw1394 + libraw1394 too because video1394 did not provide 10*4882a593Smuzhiyun asynchronous I/O for device discovery and configuration. 11*4882a593Smuzhiyun 12*4882a593Smuzhiyun Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of 13*4882a593Smuzhiyun firewire-core. 14*4882a593Smuzhiyun 15*4882a593SmuzhiyunUsers: 16*4882a593Smuzhiyun libdc1394 (works with firewire-cdev too, transparent to library ABI 17*4882a593Smuzhiyun users) 18
