Firewire support

Hi all,

I am new to this forum and i would like to know if firewire 1394b (800mbits/s) was supported with uclinux on the nios ii.

I suppose yes because it is supported by linux. what are then the hardware solutions?

I thought to the TSB82AA2 link layer controller from Texas Instruments. However, it's interafce to the NIOS would be a PCI link.

Then :

is there a pci support with the nios ii?

is is possible to embedd the pci controller in the fpga (existing ip)?

Thank you for any help,

Jean LEE
