RDK-B_2.1-20160223

Known Issues

• None.

Highlights since the last iteration

• This is the first RDK-B iteration.

Getting the iteration

• The procedure to get the code is as follows:

  $ mkdir rdkb
  $ cd rdkb
  $ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-20160223
  $ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
  $ source meta-cmf-rdkb-bsp-emulator/setup-environment (select qemux86broadband)
  $ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image
  

• 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-20160223 in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use. If you omit the -b rdkb-20160223 entirely, you will get the master (HEAD) of each component. Currently, they are the same, but that will change with time.
• At any time, the community can build latest master by dropping the -b rdkb-20160223 in the repo init command. However, unlike RDK-V, we are going to be batch updating RDK-B on a 2-weekly cycle for the moment.
• 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, but that is the extent of the testing at this time.
