CONFIG_FIREWIRE: FireWire driver stack

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_FIREWIRE has multiple definitions:

FireWire driver stack found in drivers/firewire/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_FIREWIRE:

• prompt: FireWire driver stack
• type: tristate
• depends on: (none)
• defined in drivers/firewire/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.31–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.17, 6.18-rc+HEAD
• modules built: firewire-core

Help text

This is the new-generation IEEE 1394 (FireWire) driver stack a.k.a. Juju, a new implementation designed for robustness and simplicity. See http://ieee1394.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/migration.html for information about migration from the older Linux 1394 stack to the new driver stack.

To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be called firewire-core.

New FireWire stack, EXPERIMENTAL found in drivers/firewire/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_FIREWIRE:

• prompt: New FireWire stack, EXPERIMENTAL
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
• defined in drivers/firewire/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.26–2.6.30
• modules built: firewire-core

This is the "Juju" FireWire stack, a new alternative implementation designed for robustness and simplicity. You can build either this stack, or the old stack (the ieee1394 driver, ohci1394 etc.) or both. Please read http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration before you enable the new stack.

To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be called firewire-core.

This module functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394, and video1394. To access it from application programs, you generally need at least libraw1394 version 2. IIDC/DCAM applications also need libdc1394 version 2. No libraries are required to access storage devices through the firewire-sbp2 driver.

IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support - alternative stack, EXPERIMENTAL found in drivers/firewire/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_FIREWIRE:

• prompt: IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support - alternative stack, EXPERIMENTAL
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
• defined in drivers/firewire/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.22–2.6.25
• modules built: firewire-core

This is the "Juju" FireWire stack, a new alternative implementation designed for robustness and simplicity. You can build either this stack, or the classic stack (the ieee1394 driver, ohci1394 etc.) or both. Please read http://wiki.linux1394.org/JujuMigration before you enable the new stack.

To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be called firewire-core. It functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394, and video1394.

NOTE:

You should only build ONE of the stacks, unless you REALLY know what you are doing.
