I am trying to interface Point Grey Bumblebee2 stero camera with the nvida tegra tk1 using PCI express. Nvidia board detects the PCI express.

But it cannot find the Point Grey camera

After thorough debugging, I found out that current kernel on nvida tegra tk1 doesn't have firewire1394 driver. So, I need to know which kernel I can recompile to use firewire1394 driver.
The stock Linux kernel 3.10.40 does not have a firewire1394 driver. So, I added a firewire1394 driver.
The "Grinch" kernel adds 1394 support. The Grinch kernel is available from: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/823132/embedded-systems/-customkernel-the-grinch-21-3-4-for-jetson-tk1-developed/
I followed the instructions and finally I have the firewire1394 driver installed and loaded.
To install CUDA and OpenCV4Tegra, one can then use application manager and then unchecked the linux and flushed option.
