Linux IT9135 driver firmwares

I extracted some firmwares from ITE Technologies IT9135 Windows driver. There was 3 different firmwares, one for old IT9135AX (ver. 1) and two which seems to be compatible with newer IT9135BX (ver. 2). Windows driver version was 12.10.04. (dated 10/04/2012) - it was the newest driver I was able to find...

dvb-usb-it9135-01.fw - versions: 12.54.14.0 / 2.47.14.0
dvb-usb-it9135-02.fw - versions: 3.42.3.3 / 3.29.3.3
dvb-usb-it9135-02.fw - versions: 3.40.1.0 / 3.17.1.0


dvb-usb-it9135-01.fw firmware seems to be just same old which has been there ages. Each of the dvb-usb-it9135-02.fw were newer, according to version numbers reported by the driver, than the old one around the net (old 3.39.1.0 / 3.9.1.0).

These firmwares are compatible with both Linux AF9035 (dvb_usb_af9035) and IT9135 (dvb_usb_it913x) drivers. AF9035 driver supports IT9135 too.

Feel free to test! Especially I am interested to hear if those new ones behaves differently than older.

Linux SDR API committed to media treee!

Yaw, a big day for me. After the two years of work, it is finally there! Mauro just committed basic SDR API stuff to Media tree for kernel 3.15.

So when you next time see new /dev/swradio0 device node appearing to file system, you know where it is coming from :)

[media] devices.txt: add video4linux device for Software Defined Radio

Add Antti at the V4L2 revision list sdr


I have almost 100 SDR patches waiting on my queue, adding new features and hardware support, including kernel SDR drivers for Mirics MSi3101 and Realtek RTL2832U based devices.

Check out my kernel SDR tree


Related tools etc.

Big thanks to VideoForLinux API rockstar Hans Verkuil for tons of comments and reviews.
