AS5643 defines a very specific use model for the IEEE-1394 bus, and, for this reason, it uses a relatively small subset of the serial buss capability. Optimized to support the AS5643 use case, the design provides the best possible solution, while maintaining AS5643 functional compatibility with existing chip sets. The purpose of the optimization is to remove unused requirements, which in turn translates into fewer lines of code, fewer tests, easier to achieve robustness goals, and ultimately, a more affordable solution. The addition of diagnostic features will improve the usability of IEEE-1394-2008 by helping to predictably isolate subsystem, wiring or connector faults. IEEE-1394/AS5643 is actively being investigated by the commercial aerospace industry however the lack of a DO-254 certifiable IEEE-1394/AS5643 implementation is the primary obstacle.
