+  <title>Software Defined Radio Interface (SDR)</title>
+
+  <para>
+SDR is an abbreviation of Software Defined Radio, the radio device
+which uses application software for modulation or demodulation. This interface
+is intended for controlling and data streaming of such devices.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+SDR devices are accessed through character device special files named
+<filename>/dev/swradio0</filename> to <filename>/dev/swradio255</filename>
+with major number 81 and dynamically allocated minor numbers 0 to 255.
+  </para>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>Querying Capabilities</title>
+
+    <para>
+Devices supporting the SDR receiver interface set the
+<constant>V4L2_CAP_SDR_CAPTURE</constant> and
+<constant>V4L2_CAP_TUNER</constant> flag in the
+<structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability;
+returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl. That flag means the device has an
+Analog to Digital Converter (ADC), which is a mandatory element for the SDR receiver.
+At least one of the read/write, streaming or asynchronous I/O methods must
+be supported.
+    </para>
+  </section>

+  <section>
+    <title>Supplemental Functions</title>
+
+    <para>
+SDR devices can support <link linkend="control">controls</link>, and must
+support the <link linkend="tuner">tuner</link> ioctls. Tuner ioctls are used
+for setting the ADC sampling rate (sampling frequency) and the possible RF tuner
+frequency.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+The <constant>V4L2_TUNER_ADC</constant> tuner type is used for ADC tuners, and
+the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_RF</constant> tuner type is used for RF tuners. The
+tuner index of the RF tuner (if any) must always follow the ADC tuner index.
+Normally the ADC tuner is #0 and the RF tuner is #1.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+The &VIDIOC-S-HW-FREQ-SEEK; ioctl is not supported.
+    </para>
+  </section>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>Data Format Negotiation</title>
+
+    <para>
+The SDR capture device uses the <link linkend="format">format</link> ioctls to
+select the capture format. Both the sampling resolution and the data streaming
+format are bound to that selectable format. In addition to the basic
+<link linkend="format">format</link> ioctls, the &VIDIOC-ENUM-FMT; ioctl
+must be supported as well.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+To use the <link linkend="format">format</link> ioctls applications set the
+<structfield>type</structfield> field of a &v4l2-format; to
+<constant>V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SDR_CAPTURE</constant> and use the &v4l2-format-sdr;
+<structfield>sdr</structfield> member of the <structfield>fmt</structfield>
+union as needed per the desired operation.
+Currently only the <structfield>pixelformat</structfield> field of
+&v4l2-format-sdr; is used. The content of that field is the V4L2 fourcc code
+of the data format.
