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. | |
