This is the summary page that describes CMF quarterly release rdkb-2021q2, based on the new branch rdk-next and yocto project version morty. Below are links to the relevant documents.
Note: The master branch has been deprecated in select community repositories and rdk-next is now the lead development branch.
Note: The latest rdkb quarterly release addresses licensing issues so users are advised to move to the latest iteration.

Patches
Separate patch files for the open-source OE layers are no longer maintained. Instead, mirrors of the OE layers used by RDK are maintained at CMF, containing rdk branches that contain the patches already applied. The RDK build scripts and recipes now all use these instead of the previous patches.
A detailed changelog since the last release rdkb-2021q1 can be found here.
Getting the code
Note: The manifests repository is only available to RDK licensees.
mkdir <workspace dir>
cd <workspace dir>
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-2021q2
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-2021q2 in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use.
- If you omit the -b rdkb-2021q2 entirely, you will get the HEAD of each component
Building the code
Building for RaspberryPi
mkdir <workspace dir>
cd <workspace dir>
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-2021q2
repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment
# Select option raspberrypi-rdk-broadband.conf
bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image
# To build TDK image
bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-tdk-image
- Note. The kernel Image and root filesystem will be created under the ./tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi-rdk-broadband folder

Testing
Sanity Testing
Sanity tests include:
- Services checks (wifiagent, hostapd, ..)
- Network (WAN) connectivity
- Wifi 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz hotspot testing.
- Login, menu navigation, parameter modification, e.g. Wifi SSID/password change and re-connection, changing admin password.
TDK Testing
- TDK component tests were run against the release, results are available here.
- TDK Test Lists were based on TDK M88 Release
