Description: FireWire is an important technology that provides high-speed serial bus communications. This book offers an in-depth description of the IEEE 1394 cable environment based on the final 1394A specification. It describes the specification itself, and discusses in detail the architecture, features, and operations of systems built using the FireWire bus. This new edition includes all of the 1394A changes, along with the Power Management specification developments. New chapters include coverage of the AV/C (Audio-Video/Control) specification, the Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol, SBP-2 (Serial Bus Protocol-2) specification, and the OpenHCI specification. The author also provides example implementations, making this a truly essential resource for anyone who designs or tests hardware or software involving FireWire technology.
