In my opinion, FW66 is an application of ArchWave BeBoB solution for audio and music units on IEEE 1394 bus (ArchWave is formerly known as BridgeCo) since I can find file structure for the solution in driver package shipped by the vendor. I guess that you can see large ASIC labelled with 'BridgeCo' (or 'ArchWave') DM1000/1100/1500 inner the device. If so, the device is possibly handled by implementation of FFADO. But as a quick glance to your log, the implementation of FFADO fails to detect it: > daniel@gibbonmoon:~$ sudo ffado-test Discover > ... > 02878614308: Warning (bebob_avdevice.cpp)[ 228] discover: Using generic BeBoB support for unsupported device 'ToneWeal FW66' > 02878620133: Debug (bebob_avdevice_subunit.cpp)[ 83] discover: Discovering BeBoB::AudioSubunit... > 02878620175: Debug (avc_audiosubunit.cpp)[ 56] discover: Discovering BeBoB::AudioSubunit... > 02878620196: Debug (avc_subunit.cpp)[ 108] discoverPlugs: Discovering plugs... > 02878778208: Error (bebob_avplug.cpp)[ 237] discoverPlugType: Plug does not implement extended plug info plug type info command > 02878778236: Error (bebob_avplug.cpp)[ 120] discover: discover: Could not discover plug type (1,1,0,0,1) > 02878778272: Error (avc_subunit.cpp)[ 189] discoverPlugs: plug discover failed > 02878778283: Error (avc_subunit.cpp)[ 131] discoverPlugs: destination plug discovering failed > 02878778301: Error (avc_subunit.cpp)[ 99] discover: plug discovery failed > 02878778312: Error (avc_unit.cpp)[ 283] enumerateSubUnits: enumerateSubUnits: Could not discover subunit_id = 0, subunit_type = 1 (Audio) > 02878778335: Error (avc_unit.cpp)[ 177] discover: Could not enumerate sub units > 02878778347: Error (bebob_avdevice.cpp)[ 232] discover: Could not discover unit > 02878778376: Error (devicemanager.cpp)[ 628] discover: could not discover device > 02878778419: Debug (devicemanager.cpp)[ 661] discover: Discovery finished... ... The reason is the unit returns NOT_IMPLEMENTED response against vendor specific AV/C command (Extended Plug Information command defined by BridgeCo.) for Audio subunit. I guess that the device has no Audio subunit but the implementation performs to use it without checking available subunits. For my information, would you please clone linux-firewire-utils[1] into your system and build it, then run below command to dump device information: $ ./firewire-request /dev/fw1 read 0xffffc8020000 60 result: 000: 62 72 69 64 67 65 43 6f 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 bridgeCo........ result: 010: 00 96 14 00 22 03 00 00 19 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...."........... result: 020: 32 30 30 39 30 36 30 39 31 36 32 39 34 30 20 20 20090609162940 result: 030: 00 00 00 19 07 1f 00 00 80 00 0c 40 70 35 14 00 ...........@p5.. result: 040: 32 30 30 39 30 36 30 39 31 36 32 32 31 39 20 20 20090609162219 result: 050: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ The above is a sample of Phonic Firefly 202. I expect the first line includes bytes represent 'bridgeCo'.
