Firewire Controller VIA vt6307

[uli reiser]

Hi,

I have desperately tried to get to run the VIA vt6307 controller on a
Ubuntu system:

-Kernel: 2.6.12-9-686
-OHCI driver
-lspci reports the controller found (0000:02:04.0 FIREWIRE .. VIA
Technologies, Inc IEEE 1294 Host Controller (rev 80))

dmesg: ieee1394: init config rom entry 'ip1394'
ieee1394: Host added ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[..]

when testlibraw started:
ieee1394: Failed to generate Configuration ROM image for host 0

Does anybody know the problem? Which hardware driver is to be used?

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

i think my card has the same chipset. I get similar problems posted on
my first email. Noone replied yet though.

I upgraded to pcmciautils, and got rid of pcmcia-cs, now I see something
under /sys/bus/ieee1394
but i still get the `no driver found of device 0x\0x\0x`

Greetings.

What else besides testlibraw does not work?
What are the kernel log messages from the ohci1394 driver?

Hi
[4294691.228000] ohci1394: fw-host0: OHCI-1394 1.1 (PCI): IRQ=[17]
MMIO=[ed040000-ed0407ff] Max Packet=[2048]
what I asume is quite normal.
When I compare the kernel messages with my laptop, where a different
firewire controller is installed that is working fine with the ohci1394
ieee1394: Loaded CMP driver
and
ieee1394: Node added: ID:BUS[0-02:1023] GUID[0007481100802ca2]
As far as I understand, the new firewire device (DCAM color camera) is not
added as node.
I can't figure out where the problem lies exactly ..
Thanks for any help,
Uli

I have an application where I want to use my IIDC compliant camera in
place of a 1394 camcorder that outputs DV. Are there any hardware or
software bridges that will do the conversion? I know there are analog to
DV converters but have been unable to find a similiar device that
supports IIDC cameras. A hrdware solution would be optimal.

I am not aware of any hardware, but ffmpeg supports iidc as an input and can
encode to DV with quite good speed and quality. The raw DV it outputs can be
piped out to 1394 using libiec61883 or dv1394 on Linux.

What are the results of
$ cat /sys/bus/ieee1394/devices/fw-host0/node_count
$ cat /sys/bus/ieee1394/devices/fw-host0/nodes_active
$ cat /sys/bus/ieee1394/devices/fw-host0/in_bus_reset
?

Also, the message "Failed to generate Configuration ROM image for host
0" from your initial post is very strange. What if you configure the
drivers without support for "Ethernet over 1394" (eth1394) and also
disable the option "Build in extra config rom entries for certain
functionality"?
