Satoru Ueda passed away. He is one of initiators of Japan Technical Jamboree, "technical discussion place of CE Linux Forum". He is also well-known as an author of "OSSライセンスの教科書" (textbook about OSS license) to spread understanding of OSS license, especially for company activity. R.I.P.

Oops. I wrote "a PCM device driver for 1394 OHCI " in tag message, but it should be "a PCI device driver for 1394 OHCI" correctly... No functional change in sound device drivers for FireWire audio devices in the time.

The resolution of time stamp for both types of communication is the same as isochronous cycle (8,000 Hz). So coarse nowadays but useful somehow for development.

Hardware time stamp is now available for asynchronous communication as well as isochronous communication in user space application.

linux-firewire-utils version 0.5.0 release

You can download the new release from the following URL:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/ieee1394/linux-firewire-utils.git/tag/?h=v0.5.0

This marks the first release since the project was hosted at
git.kernel.org[1]. In this release, crpp tool has been removed due to
Python 2 and license issues. Instead, a new tool called
config-rom-pretty-printer has been added as an alternate. This tool is
implemented in C language and closely resembles the output of the original
tool, capturing approximately 80% of its functionality. However some
legacy functions, such as the firecontrol parser, have been dropped.

The original tool is maintained by Clemens Ladisch and hosted on
github.com[2]. However there has been no activity on the repository in
recent years[3]. As a result, the project was forked to git.kernel.org and
is now maintained by Takashi Sakamoto.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for Clemens
Ladisch's work on the original tool. I am delighted to be able to release
an updated version after 8 years of silence.

And I have no devices for which the tool supports protocols, sigh.

I wonder why I should rewrite a Python 2 script by C language... phew: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/ieee1394/linux-firewire-utils.git/commit/?id=9164a62d5e273

I was so careless due to the load to prepare version 0.1.0 release...

Hi @broonie . I see your name in the history of linux-next repository and wonder how many bodies you have. You may be master of ninja, hehe.

By the way, I would like to add linux1394 upstream into linux-next integration, while the procedure is still unclear. A few days ago I sent to Stephen Rothwell C.C.ed to you, while got no reply. For next merge window coming up, it is convenient to me to check changes of linux1394 in linux-next integration. It is helpful to get any of your advices.
