+**************************************
+Software Defined Radio Interface (SDR)
+**************************************
+
+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.
+
+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 struct
+:c:type:`v4l2_capability` returned by the
+:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCAP` ioctl. That flag means the
+device has an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC), which is a mandatory
+element for the SDR receiver.
+
+Devices supporting the SDR transmitter interface set the
+``V4L2_CAP_SDR_OUTPUT`` and ``V4L2_CAP_MODULATOR`` flag in the
+``capabilities`` field of struct
+:c:type:`v4l2_capability` returned by the
+:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCAP` ioctl. That flag means the
+device has an Digital to Analog Converter (DAC), which is a mandatory
+element for the SDR transmitter.
+
+At least one of the read/write or streaming I/O methods
+must be supported.
+
+
+Supplemental Functions
+======================
+
+SDR devices can support :ref:`controls <control>`, and must support
+the :ref:`tuner` ioctls. Tuner ioctls are used for setting the
+ADC/DAC sampling rate (sampling frequency) and the possible radio
+frequency (RF).
+
+The ``V4L2_TUNER_SDR`` tuner type is used for setting SDR device ADC/DAC
+frequency, and the ``V4L2_TUNER_RF`` tuner type is used for setting
+radio frequency. The tuner index of the RF tuner (if any) must always
+follow the SDR tuner index. Normally the SDR tuner is #0 and the RF
+tuner is #1.
+
+The :ref:`VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK` ioctl is
+not supported.
+
+
+Data Format Negotiation
+=======================
+
+The SDR device uses the :ref:`format` ioctls to select the
+capture and output format. Both the sampling resolution and the data
+streaming format are bound to that selectable format. In addition to the
+basic :ref:`format` ioctls, the
+:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` ioctl must be supported as
+well.
+
+To use the :ref:`format` ioctls applications set the ``type``
+field of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_format` to
+``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SDR_CAPTURE`` or ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SDR_OUTPUT`` and use
+the struct :c:type:`v4l2_sdr_format` ``sdr`` member
+of the ``fmt`` union as needed per the desired operation. Currently
+there are two fields, ``pixelformat`` and ``buffersize``, of
+struct :c:type:`v4l2_sdr_format` which are used.
+Content of the ``pixelformat`` is V4L2 FourCC code of the data format.
+The ``buffersize`` field is maximum buffer size in bytes required for
+data transfer, set by the driver in order to inform application.
