FireWire
From Gentoo Wiki (test)
Resources
This article describes the setup of FireWire (IEEE 1394, i.Link) controllers.
Installation
Kernel configuration
For FireWire support, the following kernel options need to be activated:
KERNEL Add FireWire driver support
'"`UNIQ--pre-00000000-QINU`"'
Select additional drivers as needed. For example, a FireWire hard drive may need the following options enabled:
KERNEL Add additional driver support
'"`UNIQ--pre-00000003-QINU`"'
USE flags
Portage knows the global USE flag ieee1394 for enabling support for FireWire in other packages. Enabling this USE flag will pull in sys-libs/libraw1394 automatically:
FILE
/etc/portage/make.confUSE="... ieee1394 ..."
USE flags for sys-libs/libraw1394 Library that provides direct access to the IEEE 1394 bus
valgrind
|
Enable annotations for accuracy. May slow down runtime slightly. Safe to use even if not currently using dev-debug/valgrind |
Emerge
After setting the USE flag above update the system so the changes take effect:
root #emerge --ask --changed-use --deep @world
