Hi,
we are happy to welcome a new developer to the RTnet project: Yuchen has contributed a real-time port of the Linux IEEE-1394 layer, and he will continue to work on a smooth integration of this layer into the main RTnet branch.
Currently you can find his work only in the SVN branch svn://svn.berlios.de/rtnet/branches/rtnet-1394 under drivers/experimental/firewire. It's actually so experimental that I still haven't tried it on my own (I'm just organising some FireWire cards...) ;)! But Yuchen can likely add some more details about his successful experiments...
FireWire will open interesting new application domains for RTnet. There is an increasing number of projects working with this media, and you can also find more and more industrial field devices supporting 1394. The extension of RTnet by FireWire underlines that RTnet has real potentials to be more than "just" hard real-time Ethernet, in fact it can be hard real-time networking!
