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