FireCommander™-
1394 Command Interpreter
The 1394 command interpreter is a tool that can be used to pass commands to the 1394
stack, for example sending transaction requests to various nodes and seeing the results,
sending PHY packets, initiating bus resets etc. The 1394 command interpreter also has the
ability to execute script files containing the commands that it recognizes. This capability can
be used for the execution of elementary testing procedures.
An important feature of FireCommander™ is the built in utility
bench
that performs instant
benchmarking and performance measurement of the connection between two (2) 1394 PC
nodes. Please refer to this utility description for more details.
The
help
command from within the interpreter provides the list of available commands and a
summary of command syntax.
Running the program
Run the FireCommander™ from the “Start
→
Programs
→
ubCore”. It runs as a console
process, by opening a text window similar to the system’s command prompt. In this window
you can type the various supported commands, and then press Enter so that the interpreter
processes them.
In the next screen capture you see the initial console information and the Unibrain’s 1394
driver stack version executing the

command
