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, streaming or asynchronous 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 is two fields, ``pixelformat`` and ``buffersize``, of struct
|
|
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.

* - __u32
|
|
- ``pixelformat``
|
|
- The data format or type of compression, set by the application.
|
|
This is a little endian
|
|
:ref:`four character code <v4l2-fourcc>`. V4L2 defines SDR
|
|
formats in :ref:`sdr-formats`.
|
|
* - __u32
|
|
- ``buffersize``
|
|
- Maximum size in bytes required for data. Value is set by the
|
|
driver.
|
|
* - __u8
|
|
- ``reserved[24]``
|
|
- This array is reserved for future extensions. Drivers and
|
|
applications must set it to zero.
|
|
|
|
|
|
An SDR device may support :ref:`read/write <rw>` and/or streaming
|
|
(:ref:`memory mapping <mmap>` or :ref:`user pointer <userp>`) I/O.
