AVS-Release-Mar2021

1. How to set workspace
  $ mkdir <workspace-dir>
  $ cd <workspace-dir>
  $ repo init -u <Manifest-Repository> -m Manifest.xml -b rdk-next
  e.g. $ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkv.xml -b rdk-next
2. How to download AVS components
 a) Add below entries in manifest to download Alexa voice dependencies.
    <project dest-branch="rdk-next" name="components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-rdk-voice" path="meta-rdk-voice" revision="rdk-next" upstream="rdk-next"/>
    <project name="components/generic/avs/alexa_skill_mapper" revision="rdk-next"/> 
 [OR]
 b) Clone the meta layer (works for non external-src builds)
    $ git clone https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-rdk-voice

$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
Note:
* The <Manifest-Repository> URL along with-m Manifest.xml option in the build sequence can be used to download either generic RDK code or that of the RDK accelerator collaboration repositories.
* The -b rdk-next in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use. To download one of the tagged releases, -b <tag-name> should be used.

1. Source the environment
  $ source <OEM-Platform>/setup-environment
  e.g. 
  $ source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment
2. Machine configuration
 - Select the appropriate machine configuration option
 e.g. Select option raspberrypi-rdk-mc.conf
3. Build the image
$ bitbake rdk-generic-mediaclient-image
Note. Kernel Image & root filesystem will be available in ./tmp/deploy/images/<Machine-Arch> folder
