Setting up DV1394

  • Build kernel modules
    • Firewire modules install into /lib/modules/<version>/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/
    • You should have: dv1394.o, ieee1394.o, ohci1394.o, pcilynx.o, raw1394.o, sbp2.o, video1394.o
  • Create devices
    • mknod -m 666 /dev/raw1394 c 171 0
    • mknod -m 666 /dev/video1394 c 171 16 ("172 0" if kernel 2.4.18 or earlier)
  • Load Firewire modules
    • modprobe ieee1394 ohci1394 raw1394
    • module autoloading using /etc/modules.conf:
      alias char-major-171 raw1394
      alias char-major-171-16 video1394
      pre-install raw1394 /sbin/modprobe -k ohci1394
      pre-install video1394 /sbin/modprobe -k ohci1394
  • This should work...
