Highlights since 201701030

  • Components updated:
    • meta-cmf-rdkb-bsp-emulator, meta-rdk-bsp-emulator, meta-cmf, meta-cmf-broadband, meta-cmf-raspberrypi, meta-rdk, meta-rdk-broadband, devices/intel-x86-pc/rdkbemulator/tdkb, tdk, tdkb.
    • crashupload, rdk_logger, sys_resource, CcspCMAgent, CcspCommonLibrary, CcspDmCli, CcspLMLite, CcspMisc, CcspMoCA, CcspPandM, CcspPsm, CcspSnmpPa, CcspTr069Pa, CcspWifiAgent, PowerManager, TestAndDiagnostic, Utopia, Xconf, hal, halinterface, hotspot, sysint, webui, rdkb/devices/raspberrypi/hal, rdkb/devices/rdkbemu/ccsp/rdkb.
  • Patches updated:
    • patches/rdk-oe
  • Community contributions: 
    • Please refer to the changelog since the last iteration (rdkb-20171030) here (Gerrit).

Getting the code

$ mkdir rdkb
$ cd rdkb 
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-20171127
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle 
  • The -m rdkb.xml in the build sequence above is important. If this is not specified, you will get an RDK-V tree by default.
  • The -b rdkb-20171127 in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use. If you omit the -b rdkb-20171127 entirely, you will get the master (HEAD) of each component.
  • At any time, the community can build latest master by dropping the -b rdkb-20171127 option in the repo init command.
  • We have verified that this iteration boots to a login prompt and that you can log in, and that you can connect with a web browser to the web admin page.

Building for the emulator

$ source meta-cmf-rdkb-bsp-emulator/setup-environment (select qemux86broadband)
$ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image

The image path will be: build-qemux86broadband/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86broadband/rdk-generic-broadband-image-qemux86broadband.vmdk

To build TDK, follow the steps as for a normal build, above, but use the following bitbake command:

$ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-tdk-image

The image path will be: build-qemux86broadband/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86broadband/rdk-generic-broadband-tdk-image-qemux86broadband.vmdk

TDK documentation is available here: https://wiki.rdkcentral.com/display/TDK/TDK+Release+M52

Running the emulator

  1. Start VirtualBox.
  2. Click New -> Enter name -> Select type Linux -> Select version Other Linux (32 bit) -> Click Next
  3. Select Memory size - 512MB -> Click Next
  4. Select option Use an existing virtual hard drive -> Select the built image above -> Click Create
  5. Once the VM has been created, select the new image and click Settings -> Network -> Select Attached to: 'Bridged Adapter' -> Click Ok
  6. Click Start. This will bring up the emulator with the initial splash screen

Building for RaspberryPi

$ mkdir <workspace dir>
$ cd <workspace dir>
$ repo init –u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml –b rdkb-20171127-rpi
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
$ source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment

Select option raspberrypi-rdk-broadband.conf

$ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image

Note. The kernel Image and root filesystem will be created under the ./tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi-rdk-broadband folder

Known Issues

Emulators:

  • TDK-346 RDK-V CMF Emulators xcal-device service and xdiscovery not running
    • Causes most XUPNP tests to fail, issue (which is a work around procedure) is marked as resolved but the underlying issue won't be addressed until dependency on POD manager issue is removed
    • The output.json file created by this service is required for a number of the E2E tests, we have worked around this by creating the /opt/output.json file on hybrid and media client as follows:
      {"playbackUrl": "http://<hybrid IP>:8080/hnStreamStart?deviceId=<hybrid mac address>&DTCP1HOST=<hybrid IP>&DTCP1PORT=5000"}
e.g. {"playbackUrl": "http://192.168.21.234:8080/hnStreamStart?deviceId=08:bb:83:b3:b3:07&DTCP1HOST=192.168.21.234&DTCP1PORT=5000"}
  • TDK-354 RDKV Emulator Testing Script Time Outs
    • We are observing inconsistency in some of the E2E tests results, i.e. tests may sometimes pass and sometimes fail with a SCRIPT TIMEOUT error
  • TDK-292 RDKV Emulator-HYB recorder failures
    • requires DVR Simulator (refer to TDK-277)
  • TDK-380 RDKV Emulator "No such file or directory:" retrieving recordDetails.txt
  • TDK-381 RDKV Emulator RMF_HNSrc_MPSink GetMediaTime() Failures
  • TDK-427 RDKV Emulator SM Tests Failures

Platforms:

  • Reference platform builds still have a dependency on podManager
    • RDK-283 Absence of POD in CMF image blocks RMF system level functionality
    • xcal device service doesn't start, so /opt/output.json file required by E2E tests not created we have worked around this by creating the tmp/ip_acquired file, with this workaround we can run TDK E2E tests
  • TDK-277 Testing of Recorder component will remain blocked until DVR Simulator code is available
  • TDK-276 Subset of Recorder tests still consistently failing for CMF
  • TDK-387 RDKV Platform XG1V3 XUPNP Event not received by xcal-device process
  • TDK-388 RDKV Platform XG1V3 RMF MPSink Set Volume Errors
  • TDK-389 RDKV Platform E2E Tests Failures "HNSource play failed current state not playing"
  • TDK-419 RDKV Platform Major SM Regressions

Build System

  • All builds (emulator and reference platforms) now use rdk-oe (Yocto).
  • The old build_framework system is no longer supported.
  • rdk/components/generic/injectedbundle cannot be built by the community because of a dependency on AVE.
  • Root Filesystem uncompressed image sizes:
    • XG1v3 205012 (KiB)
    • XI3v2 198840 (KiB)
