Getting the code

Note:

• The manifests repository is only available to RDK licensees.
• Opensource versions of the RDKB manifests are available from the rdkcmf/manifests repository rdkb-2023q3-dunfell branch 

mkdir <workspace dir>
cd <workspace dir>

repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests -m <manifest.xml> -b rdkb-2023q3-dunfell  
repo sync --no-clone-bundle --no-tags  

• The -m <manifest.xml> in the sequence above is important. If this is not specified, you will get an RDK-V tree by default.

  • For RPI builds use manifest: rdkb.xml

    repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests -m rdkb-extsrc.xml -b rdkb-2023q3-dunfell

  • For Turris  builds use manifest: rdkb-turris-extsrc.xml

    repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests -m rdkb-turris-extsrc.xml -b rdkb-2023q3-dunfell

• The -b rdkb-2023q3-dunfell in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use.
• If you omit the -b rdkb-2023q3-dunfell entirely, you will get the HEAD of each component

Testing

Sanity Testing

RPI Sanity tests include:

• Services checks (wifiagent, hostapd, ccsp processes)
• Network (WAN) connectivity 
• LAN client
• Wifi 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz hotspot testing.
• Login, menu navigation, parameter modification, e.g. Wifi SSID/password change and re-connection, changing admin password.

Webui crash observed after changing the default admin credentials on RPI 64 bit

Turris Sanity test include:

• Services checks (wifiagent, hostapd, ccsp processes)
• Network (WAN) connectivity 
• Wifi 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz hotspot testing.
• LAN client 
• Ping and traceroute via WEB UI
• Admin WEBUI works over <erouter IP>:8080 and WiFi

TDK Testing

• TDK component tests were run against the release
• TDK Manager used is TDK-B Release M117
