The AU-F8011 IEEE 1394a + OHCI Core provides an IEEE 1394a Link Layer Controller that
supports the industry standard Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) version 1.2. OHCI is
included to provide DMA packet data transfers, interrupts, and other OHCI compatible features.
The figure below shows IEEE 1394a + OHCI Core usage within an SOC. The IEEE 1394a +
OHCI Core is available as a synthesizable Verilog model from Aurora VLSI, Inc.
