how to interface IEEE1394?

[rvspr]

Hi all

I m trying to interface IEEE1394 with processor/controller..

But i m not sure to which module/interface in MPU or MCU it will communicate??

I found Some devices like TSB41BA3D,TSB82AA2, TSB12LV21, TSB12LV26, TSB12LV32, TSB42AA4..all these describes interfacing IEEE1394 with PCI..

is there any other devices that allow IEEE1394 to communicate with some other interface other than PCI???

Thanks

I checked for you some state-of-the-art Freescale processors (the iMX and QorIQ families) and I noticed that the IEEE1394 / Firewire standard is sort of gone ...
The fact that you found a controller with a PCI interface supporting it confirms that this is an old technology.
Anyways ... you can obtain what you want with the PCI controller you mentioned if the CPU has a PCI bus. Just connect the PCI bus.
There are also a number of bridges (such as PCI Express to PCI -- like PLX8112) that allows you to connect a CPU(eg. QorIQ P2020) - PLX8112 - TSBXXXX.
Next you run Linux/VxWorks on the P2020 and there you go

Also search on Digikey.com for 'ieee 1394' you will get some more controllers for IEEE 1394. The one with code 296-18175-ND has a "HOST BUS INTERFACE"
Nothing more convenient than that!!! It is a SRAM-like interface.....

Hmmm, good luck!!
