Couple questions related to the Hardware Development platform for RDK 2.0.

  1. Can you provide the HDP availability date supporting the North American version of RDK 2.0?
  2. Can you provide the HDP availability date supporting RDK 2.0 with a DVB tuner?
  3. If you are unable to provide dates at this time, should I assume the HDP availability timing will have a similar schedule compared to version 1.3.  In this case, the software was available on July 17 (IO1), while the hardware availability was October 1.  Therefore, should we assume a 10 week delay for the hardware after the release of the software components?  Or will the RDK group attempt to align both the hardware and software releases?

Thanks

    Hello Cary,

    1. We hope to have an RDK 2.0 software image for the HDP platform soon after the RDK 2.0 release.  In addition, we will update the SDK for this platform to all HDP customers. We cannot provide a specific date as of yet as it is pending the 2.0 release.
    2. RDK Management has not announced a date when RDK will have DVB support.  When the RDK does support DVB we will provide a new software image and related build tools to support that feature.
    3. We will provide a new software image and updated build tools soon after each RDK release and make these available to HDP customers. We cannot comment on a specific time after the 2.0 release is available that a new HDP image will be posted. We are however currently updating the standalone application to use RMF rather than video_services_proxy. The HDP image should be available shortly after RDK 2.0 after a QA process.
