This interface +is intended for controlling and data streaming of such devices. + + + +SDR devices are accessed through character device special files named +/dev/swradio0 to /dev/swradio255 +with major number 81 and dynamically allocated minor numbers 0 to 255. + + +
+ Querying Capabilities + + +Devices supporting the SDR receiver interface set the +V4L2_CAP_SDR_CAPTURE and +V4L2_CAP_TUNER flag in the +capabilities 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. + +
+ +
+ Supplemental Functions + + +SDR devices can support controls, and must +support the tuner ioctls. Tuner ioctls are used +for setting the ADC sampling rate (sampling frequency) and the possible RF tuner +frequency. + + + +The V4L2_TUNER_ADC tuner type is used for ADC tuners, and +the V4L2_TUNER_RF 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. + + + +The &VIDIOC-S-HW-FREQ-SEEK; ioctl is not supported. + +
+ +
+ Data Format Negotiation + + +The SDR capture device uses the format 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 +format ioctls, the &VIDIOC-ENUM-FMT; ioctl +must be supported as well. + + + +To use the format ioctls applications set the +type field of a &v4l2-format; to +V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SDR_CAPTURE and use the &v4l2-format-sdr; +sdr member of the fmt +union as needed per the desired operation. +Currently only the pixelformat field of +&v4l2-format-sdr; is used. The content of that field is the V4L2 fourcc code +of the data format. + + + + struct <structname>v4l2_format_sdr</structname> + + &cs-str; + + + __u32 + pixelformat + +The data format or type of compression, set by the application. This is a +little endian four character code. +V4L2 defines SDR formats in . + + + + __u8 + reserved[28] + This array is reserved for future extensions. +Drivers and applications must set it to zero. + + + +
+ + +An SDR device may support read/write +and/or streaming (memory mapping +or user pointer) I/O. + + +
