I have installed libraw1394 and wrote a program to read and write via firewire. I tested it between a Ubuntu 12.04 box and my redhawk machine. with success. I tried using the same read program to read raw1394 data from a custom piece of hardware with no success. I know the device is spitting out data.

I was told that my redhawk machine needed to use raw1394. So i built the kernel modules for ieee1394 and raw1394 and did an insmod for both of them. Still no success.

Here is the code and output...

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
