Initializing the Build Environment

To build RDK images from rdk-next branch, follow the below build procedure

Generic build 
mkdir workspace
cd workspace

# initialize the manifest with repo tool
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-next -m rdkv-nosrc.xml

repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags
apply bug fixes

#both rdk-generic-hybrid-image and rdk-generic-hybrid-wpe-image are same now
bitbake rdk-generic-hybrid-image


     

    

   

   
  

 
 

The Kernel image and root file-system collectively created as an image and it will be available under build-<MACHINE>/tmp/deploy/images/<MACHINE> folder.

    
 

Flashing Procedure
The image file will be generated under build-<MACHINE>/tmp/deploy/images/<MACHINE> directory


# Insert the micro SD card and mention the card's device file name
# input file (if) is the image file to flash and the output file (of) is the card's device file name
sudo dd if=rdk-generic-hybrid-wpe-image-raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid.rpi-sdimg of=/dev/<sd file> bs=4M

      RPI 4 does not have RDK-V (Video) port yet. RPI - 3B and RPI - 3B+ have the RDK-Video port and RPI - 4 has the RDK-B (Broadband) port.

          Yes it is. Currently RDK Video is not supported for RPI4 platform

    So does it support RPI2 platform

      RPI2 is not supported, we should use RPI3 or RPI4.

    I meet the "Cannot fetch components/generic/closedcaption" issue.
    Could you help me solve it?

    steps:
    $ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-next -m rdkv-extsrc.xml
    $ repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle
    ...
    components/generic/closedcaption:
    fatal: remote error: access at least one ref not permitted
    error: Cannot fetch components/generic/closedcaption from https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/a/components/generic/closedcaption
