Host Controllers
Agere / LSI
FW323 should work.
Old revisions of the FW643 might cause issues:
Agere Systems FW643 PCI Express1394b Controller (PHY/Link) (rev 06)
FW643-E or FW643-E2 should work:
Agere Systems FW643 PCI Express1394b Controller (PHY/Link) (rev 07) or (rev 08)
ALi
M5251/M5253/M5271: problematic
JMicron
JMB381/JMB382/JMB383: problematic
NEC
D72862/D72870/D72871/D72872/D72873/D72874 ("OrangeLink"): problematic
Ricoh
In general we have bad experiences with these. But sometimes they seem to work.
Unknown:
FireWire (IEEE 1394) [0c00]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C552 IEEE 1394 Controller [1180:0552] (rev 02) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
Works for Arnold:
FireWire (IEEE 1394) [0c00]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C552 IEEE 1394 Controller [1180:0552] (rev 08)
Seems to not work for most people (Exceptions - Scott reports 100% success with FFADO-2-RC1 UBS 8.10 on Jan 14th 2009. 100% success with FFADO-2-RC1 in Fedora 10. Pedro reports good performance (128x3) with ffado-svn (as of Nov 2009), kernel 2.6.31.6-rt19/Debian testing on a Lenovo T400 laptop and cpufreq governor set to performance):
FireWire (IEEE 1394) [0c00]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller [1180:0832] (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
SiS
Problematic: 00:02.3 FireWire? (IEEE 1394): Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] FireWire? Controller (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
Texas Instruments
Supposed to work
VIA
For VT6306/7/8, the device ID is the same; the actual chip is given by the revision:
- VT6306 (rev 46): Has bandwidth limitations; does not work for at least one user:
VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6306 Fire II IEEE 1394 OHCI Link Layer Controller (rev 46) VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6306/7/8 [Fire II(M)] IEEE 1394 OHCI Controller (rev 46)
The controller is a VIA VT6306 on a Tekram "KEC L1582V" PCI card.
- VT6307 (rev 80): Works for adi:
VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6306 Fire II IEEE 1394 OHCI Link Layer Controller (rev 80) VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6306/7/8 [Fire II(M)] IEEE 1394 OHCI Controller (rev 80)
- VT6308 (rev c0): should work:
VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6306 Fire II IEEE 1394 OHCI Link Layer Controller (rev c0) VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6306/7/8 [Fire II(M)] IEEE 1394 OHCI Controller (rev c0)
PCI Express:
- VT6315: should work
Recommendations
Nowadays, no new system should use a PCI controller, so all these recommendations are PCI Express chips:
- Texas Instruments XIO2200 or XIO2213
- LSI FW643
(The older FW643 revision should not be used on any modern card.) - VIA VT6315
(only if you cannot get a TI or LSI chip)
Cards with the XIO2200/VT6315 are not as expensive because they support only 400 MBit/s; the higher bandwidth of the XIO2213/FW643 is not used by any audio interface (except the not-yet-supported FireFace 800).
