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!

Fred
