Firewire Card (OHCI) supported with RT-LAB
Do you support all OHCI compliant cards? Which cards do you recommend
Answer
We support the following chipsets (OHCI to PCI bridge) by default:
Found on: Unibrain Fireboard 800 / RTD CM17208HR PC\104-Plus FireWire Module / ...
| Chipset Name | Vendor ID | Device ID | Status |
| Texas Instruments: TSB83AA23 (Unibrain Fireboard 800 V2) | 0x104c | 0x8025 | Tested |
| Texas Instruments: TSB82AA2 (Unibrain Fireboard 800) | --- | --- | Tested |
| Texas Instruments: LV22 | 0x104c | 0x8009 | Tested |
| Texas Instruments: LV23 | 0x104c | 0x8019 | Tested |
| Texas Instruments: LV26 | 0x104c | 0x8020 | Tested |
| Texas Instruments: LV26_v02A | 0x104c | 0x8021 | Tested |
| Lucent: FW323 | 0x11c1 | 0x5811 | Likely |
| NEC: UPD72862 | 0x1033 | 0x0063 | Likely |
| NEC: 1394 | 0x1033 | 0x00cd | Likely |
| NEC: UPD72870 | 0x1033 | 0x00cd | Likely |
| NEC: UPD72871 | 0x1033 | 0x00ce | Likely |
| Sony: CXD3222 | 0x104d | 0x8039 | Likely |
Other chipsets that comply to the OHCI specification for Firewire (IEEE-1394a) may be supported by sprecifing the vendor and device ids through environment variables. On the targets (QNX v6.x), do "pci -v" to show the list of PCI cards, find the entry of your OHCI firewire card and note the "Vendor ID" and "Device ID" fields. These should be hexadecimal numbers (0x1234).
Then, in RT-LAB MainControl? -> Configuration -> User Variables -> Add
ADD_OHCI_VENDOR_ID <your vendor_id>
ADD_OHCI_DEVICE_ID <your device_id>
