1. Overview

The GL711FW is a high-performance 1394 to ATA/ATAPI native bridge with an

embedded SBP-2 target solution. It supports a solution for link/transaction layer

controller conforming to the IEEE Std 1394 (IEEE 1394-1995 and IEEE 1394.a) up to

400Mbps transfer rate. Through the SBP-2 port driver, supported by Microsoft

Windows 2000 and Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, SCSI class drivers can use SBP-2

to communicate with IEEE 1394 device using the SCSI command set. By means of the

embedded 8052 processor running the firmware located in ROM (internal or optionally

external) GL711FW provides an SBP-2 protocol engine to automatically achieve the

transport of SCSI command and data over IEEE Std 1394 serial bus. GL711FW

provides a memory interface for reading/writing firmware from/to external Flash ROM,

so that it makes software download easily and helps testing, development, or other

specific application purpose. GL711FW also supports an 8051 interface, which allows

external 8051 to access the internal memory when the embedded 8052 was disabled for

debugging and testing. The GL711FW is ideally suited to hard disk drives (HDDs),

MO, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW and DVD. It allows IDE drives being able to connect

to a 1394 serial bus in a plug-and-play fashion. The ATA/ATAPI interface of

GL711FW supports signal timing up to Ultra-DMA mode 5.
