IEEE 1394 adapter

I’m going to buy a couple of IEEE 1394 adapters for debugging and before
that I’d love to know whether they are all standard or I have to choose ones
compatible with WindowsXP/WinDBG? Do I have to know something special before
buying it?

I’ve had nothing but grief trying to use 1394 with WinDbg, and when it
did work, the speedup was not that noticable over serial.

I have used a six port 1394 adapter from a company that normally sells to
the apple market. I forgot the name, but it has a power connector so it
doesn’t try to power them from the PCI bus. I also have a cheap one that
uses a VIA chipset. The NEC chipset is a good one too. Disable the
hardware on the target system and disable the PC to PC communications link
on both. I am using it and it works well. Run the host system’s Windbg
before booting the target. Read the help file that comes with the debugger
you download from M$.

FYI, I’ve had extremely good results with IEEE 1394 debugging. I’ll
never go back to serial cables. Obviously, mileage varies.

I’ve used a variety of IEEE 1394 cards. The one currently in my machine
is some no-name OHCI-compliant adapter. So apparently the quality of
the OHCI implementation / conformance is a factor.

I agree with Arlie. Its fun working with IEEE 1394 adapters. Easy
instructions for including it in boot.ini and almost no configuration on
either end. Just match the channel number on boot.ini and WinDBG.

Cheers!!!
