TRI has developed IEEE-1394/FireWire support (FireStack) for QNX4.

FireStack supports 1394 controllers from various vendors including from TI, IBM, Fujitsu etc. and custom controllers from IP vendors.

The FireStack solution from TRI supports various protocols such as SBP-2 target/initiator, IP 1394, AV/C, DPP etc. FireStack software is available as follows:

- 1394 Driver with minimal transaction layer
- 1394 stack which includes HAL(driver), Transaction Layer, SBM, Dispatcher
