The question is, what is tag_mask in libraw1394's
int raw1394_iso_recv_start(raw1394handle_t handle,
   int start_on_cycle,
   int tag_mask,
   int sync);
supposed to mean in the first place?  It is not entirely documented, at
least not in the currently online documentation.

However, as it works now, tag_mask is obviously nothing else than the
highest 4 bits of the OHCI-1394 1.1 iso receive contextMatch register,
which is...

How can we tell?  The author of libraw1394's rawiso API should confirm

We could do this, but this would have two disadvantages:
 - We change the kernel's userspace ABI.  This is only done if serious
   bugs of an ABI need to be fixed.
 - We loose the ability to match two or three tags out of four, FWIW.
   The proposed patch can match only one or all four tags.

How about leaving ohci1394 as it is but document tag_mask better in
libraw1394's inline doxygen(?) comments, and maybe add an enum or macros
to be used as values of raw1394_iso_recv_start's tag_mask argument?

The tag field is two bits.

I don't know much about the mechanisms, but I suppose there could be one
of the following causes:
 - The IR DMA context was never set up for the respective channel in the
   first place.
 - The context was set up but the interrupt event masks weren't switched
   on, i.e. IntMask as per OHCI clause 6.2 and isoRecvIntMask as per
   clause 6.3.2.
 - The context and masks were set up, but then one or both of the masks
   were switched off again, similar to the bus reset bug which Robert
   reported: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7569

Keith, et. al,

I am having problems with isochronous receives, and remembered just as
I was getting ready to dig into the source that there was a message
about this stuff.  Lo and behold your message to linux1394-user from
September 7:

Did you ultimately have any success getting this going?  Funnily
enough, when I tested isochronous stuff in July, I just did iso
transmit since I figured receives *must* be working since everyone has
camcorders and whatnot.  My currently my iso xmit stuff does appear to
be working, but iso receives are not.

I have a Firespy and no reason not to trust it, so I can see the junk
I'm spewing out.  I've tried transmitting on channels 4 and 63 (per
your advice), but neither works for me.  I suppose it could my
stuff... nah.

RE: isochronous receives?

2006-11-29 Thread Keith Curtis
Hi Robert,

I never resolved the problem. I turned on the excessive debugging output, but 
it 
didn't print out info about receiving packets or interrupts. My test 
app claimed there were no packets received although the bus analyzer 
showed lots of packets going by.  

If I can help out, let me know, but I'm not sure where to start at this point.

Keith
