    Please note openjdk-7-jre package is not available for Ubuntu-16.04 anymore. Presumably openjdk-8-jre should be used instead.
    While installing the package following error appears:
    "Package openjdk-7-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source"

    1. Z-Mark Welch

      If you don't mind the security issues (since Java 7 is no longer supported), you can install openjdk-7-jre on Ubuntu 16 by following the instructions in https://askubuntu.com/questions/761127/how-do-i-install-openjdk-7-on-ubuntu-16-04-or-higher .

      Hi Z-Digvijay Singh Chauhan

      Did you tried logging in once to https://code.rdkcentral.com once before trying to checkout the code?

      Thanks

      1. Narayanaswamy Ramaiyer

        Hi Z-Digvijay Singh Chauhan

        Please try with rdkb-2019q3 instead of rdk-2019q3

          Hi Narayanaswamy Ramaiyer

          I tried both rdkb-2019q3 and rdkb-20180527 but got the same error, Is it related to some access?

    Is there a current set of build instructions? I can build common Yocto just fine.

    Is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS really required? Java 7 is not generally available anymore....

    I am getting the same string of "fatal: remote error: access at least one ref not permitted" errors.

    I can login to https://code.rdkcentral.com/ without any trouble.

    Thank you!

    1. Narayanaswamy Ramaiyer

      Hello Z-Daniel Poirot

      RDK-B Emulator build is tested on 12.04 & 14.04 too. If you are looking for getting it working on later versions of Ubuntu LTS, we do have some patches that will help in this regard but require further patch up


      For the access issue, if you are able to login to the site without issues and still face the access issue, let us check. Z-Yogomaya Maharana could you please help us with checking the access?

      1. Z-Daniel Poirot

        I am fine with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. 

        I get to section 1.2.1 and the `repo init` command fails.

        1. Z-Daniel Poirot

          `repo sync` is now running...

          Checking out projects: 100% (106/106), done.
          repo sync has finished successfully.

          I selected `meta-rdk-bsp-emulator/conf/machine/qemux86broadband-morty.conf` and it is moving along...

          1. Narayanaswamy Ramaiyer

            OK. So the access issue is resolved and proceeding right? Happy to know that (thumbs up)

    Hi, we see below error on a newly configured Ubuntu machine. I have cross checked the setup instructions and they are intact. Any idea what could be wrong ? Is this something related to access issue ? Please suggest.

      Hello Murali Krishna Marimekala


      Have you tried logging in successfully to https://code.rdkcentral.com via browser using your login credentials before attempting the build?

      Please share the output of below commands from your build machine, after confirming your credentials are added in ~/.netrc as mentioned in the build documentation ?

      git clone "https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkb/components/opensource/ccsp/Utopia"
      git clone "https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests"

      1. Murali Krishna Marimekala

        ~/.netrc has valid credentials.

        git clone "https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests" ==> Git clone was sucessful

        git clone "https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkb/components/opensource/ccsp/Utopia" ==> Git clone was sucessful

        Still 

        repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-2020q2

        fails with same error.

        1. Narayanaswamy Ramaiyer

          Hi Murali Krishna Marimekala

          this looks like an access issue


          Hi Z-Yogomaya Maharana could you please check if the access for this user account is all right?

  7. Z-Thiago Navarro

    Hi! How can I have credentials to access https://code.rdkcentral.com/? Thank you in advance!

            Hi Tarun Goswami ,

            The emulator maintenance is for release branches alone

            Could you please try with RDK-B_2021q1 and let us know how it works for you.

            NOTE: With 2021q1 , if you are facing below error , please port https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/c/components/asp/rdk-oe/meta-rdk-bsp-emulator/+/55550/1/recipes-connectivity/obexpushd/obexpushd_0.11.3.bb and check the build

            1. Tarun Goswami

              Thanks Priyankaa K V B , i was able to generate the  X86EMLTRBB_default_20210831115715.vmdk file. When I launch it via Virtual Box, on boot up it shows me two options Console or Serial Connection. On choosing Console option it lands me to login prompt. root works as user and there is no password required. 

              Just wanted to know is the above right?

              I was expecting to open the Web UI based console of RDK CPE Emulator. How do i get that? is there a url on the LAN I can use to open the WebUI ? and what would be default credentials.

  11. Vic Lin

    When I download the code via command "sudo python3.6 ~/bin/repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle",

    it alwany stopped in authentication tips, need to issue user name and password, is it normal?

    Hi Z-djkim ,


    The emulator build is no more maintained for latest RDK-B releases or rdk-next branch. The last stable build for emulator is rdkb-2021q1 branch ( morty ). Could you try building this branch.
