Neither AVT nor Basler offer FireWire support in their official SDKs. (Both companies were asked in August 2016)

There is an open source project about contorling FireWire cameras in Linux:
Coriander project
https://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libraries
https://sourceforge.net/projects/libdc1394/

Coriander has been sucessfully compiled and run on sdlx029 running CentOS7. The executable also run on a frontend after installing gnome libraries. I could run two cameras in parallel.

Issues:

• So far, only one specific FireWire cards works well in Linux. None of the PCI express or other PCI cards I tested was recognised. OnBoad FireWire ports also were not recognised.

• Unordered List Item
