Firewire is such a cool bus, it’s a shame it fell out of favor. How many buses have support for up to 80% of the bandwidth being Isochronous and bandwidth guaranteed?
I’ve been playing with a vk9000 firewire analyzer to reverse engineer some anchor to cameras, it’s been quite fun.
- dfox 5y agoI would say that the fact that firewire is a bus is part of the reason why it fell out of favor. It was designed in a time when packet switching was though to be expensive and to cause unacceptable latencies for A/V applications. Just few years after firewire was designed both of these issues were found out to not be as relevant as they at a time seemed. In todays world the firewire's “logical bus from spanning tree” design seems like overly complex waste of bandwidth.
