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-2024q2-kirkstone branch 
mkdir <workspace dir> 
cd <workspace dir>

repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests -m rdkb-extsrc.xml -b rdkb-2024q2-kirkstone  
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-2024q1-kirkstone
  • The -b rdkb-2024q1-kirkstone in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use.
  • If you omit the -b rdkb-2024q1-kirkstone entirely, you will get the HEAD of each component

Testing

Sanity Testing

Automated RPI Sanity tests include:

  • Services checks (OneWifi, 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.
