Hi all!
I'm trying to use my first-ever firewire device, and just OOB I'm not getting very far, so advice would be appreciated.
When I plug in the device I see some entries in /var/log/messages:
Jul 27 14:50:30 fcshome kernel: firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 Jul 27 14:50:31 fcshome kernel: firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 0003f300118123f9, S100
lsmod says this:
# lsmod | grep fire firewire_ohci 24695 0 firewire_core 50151 1 firewire_ohci crc_itu_t 1717 2 udf,firewire_core
I have these 1394-related packages installed:
# yum list installed | grep 1394 libavc1394.x86_64 0.5.3-9.1.el6 @anaconda-CentOS-201207061011.x86_64/6.3 libdc1394.x86_64 2.1.2-3.4.el6 @base libdc1394-docs.x86_64 2.1.2-3.4.el6 @base libdc1394-tools.x86_64 2.1.2-3.4.el6 @base libraw1394.x86_64 2.0.4-1.el6 @anaconda-CentOS-201207061011.x86_64/6.3
lspci says this:
03:0e.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)
the only mention of 1394 that I see in /etc/modprobe.d is this (grep output):
dist.conf:install eth1394 /bin/true
which, to the limited extent of my understanding shouldn't be a problem.
I'm trying to use Kino. when I start it up and click the "capture" tab on the right I get a warning in the bar at the bottom of the Kino window that reads:
WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw/1394!
which makes sense since there ins't a /dev/raw/1394. however, according to this:
# find /dev -name *firewire* -print /dev/.udev/db/firewire:fw1 /dev/.udev/db/firewire:fw0
there are two firewire device nodes.
Should Kino be using one of those device nodes instead of /dev/raw/1394? Or if not, does anyone have further advice (preferably helpful advice) ??
thanks!
