Name: FireWire</b></font></p>

<p><font size="4"><b>Description</b></font> </p>

<p>FireWire, an Apple trademarked name for IEEE 1394 protocol, is

a high performance serial bus protocol to provide easy-to-use,

low-cost, high-speed communications. <a

for a good collection of links to IEEE 1394 documents. </p>

<p>The goal of the FireWire project is to provide free IEEE-1394 compliant Physical Layer and Link Layer IP cores. The FireWire project will also include firmware for Transaction Layer and Serial Bus Management Layer.
