    Hello ,

    we are integrating gw image with rdkb 22.2 and opensync 3.2.7 for broadcom chipset, we are able to build by following some changes and following these process.

    1. take a source code from the drive -

     2. before start building the FW image, please execute the below dependencies(prerequisite ubuntu:20.04):
     
       1.sudo apt-get update
     
       2.sudo apt-get -y install libtiff5-dev libtiff5 liblzo2-dev uuid-dev bison flex libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libc6-dev-i386 bzip2 make vim-common automake build-essential pkg-config dos2unix bc gawk libtool python python-six git python3 openvswitch-switch dropbear-bin ncurses-dev ccache hexec python3-pip quilt wget unzip libssl-dev libncurses5-dev lzma-dev liblzma-dev lzma binutils-dev autoconf autotools-dev bsh g++ gettext bisonc++ zlib1g-dev
     
       3.sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat cpio python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping python3-git python3-jinja2 libegl1-mesa libsdl1.2-dev pylint3 xterm

       4. mkdir ~/bin 
          export PATH=~/bin:$PATH 
          sudo apt install curl
          curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo 
          chmod a+x ~/bin/repo


       5. sudo rm /bin/sh
       6. sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

       7. create .netrc file in home directory by " vi .netrc " command and save the following data in it 

        machine code.rdkcentral.com
        login YOUR_USERNAME
        password YOUR_PASSWORD 
     

        
    3. untar the source code   
       tar -xvf CBV390S5-AX5700_Broadcom_Source-20220303T074455Z-001.tar.gz
       cd CBV390S5-AX5700_Broadcom_Source 


    4. we should untared the OpenBFC RDKM tarball package file to our workspace and then try to copy the OpenBFC lattice tarball package file to downloads/ directory without untarring it like below (please execute the below).

             tar xfz OpenBFC_22.2_RDKM_3390_Opensource.tgz
             tar xzf OpenBFC_22.2_RDKM_CM3390_wifi_22.1-ea4.tgz
             tar xfz openbfc_rdkm_wifi.tgz    
             tar xfz OpenBFC_22.2_RDKM_3390_SLA.tgz 
             patch -p0 < openbfc_rdkm_diff.txt
             cp OpenBFC_22.2_lattice.tar.gz downloads/.
             cp OpenBFC_22.2_common.tar.gz downloads/.
             cp wifi_src-22.1-ea4-17.10.251.30.tgz downloads/wifi_src.tgz
             cp wifi_airiq-17.10.251.30-3390_OpenBFC-22.2.tgz downloads/wifi_airiq.tgz

    5. we need to setup our build environment by exectuing below command , so that will get RDKM base code from code.rdkcentral.com server.

           1.source meta-rdk-broadcom-broadband/setup-environment-broadcom-broadband 
        ==> {select option 3}  
           to choose our target platform(meta-rdk-broadcom-generic-rdk/meta-brcm93390smwvg2/conf/machine/brcm93390smwvg2.conf). 
           
    6. please fallow the below modifications:


    ===>1.replace the meta-rdk-opensync ( u can get new meta-rdk-opensync layer with --> https://github.com/plume-design/meta-rdk-opensync) and change the OPENSYNC_VENDOR_URI in a file opensync_3.2.7.bb file, along with this disable #DEPENDS += "hal-wifi-cfg80211" with a same file (this will resolve multiple.bb file errr)
    -


    7.start the bitbake server by using below :
         bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-rdk-opensync/
         
    8.  ==> please try to  Build the OpenSync package by executing below command

        bitbake opensync
      
       ==> You may get some errors like below :
      
       1. Nothing PROVIDES 'bridge-utils-native'
       2. Nothing RPROVIDES 'cpp' 
       
       above errors get reslove by reffering below web link :
       https://wiki.rdkcentral.com/display/RDK/RDKB+-+Yocto+3.1+Migration+for+Turris-Omnia+Reference+platform+-+User+manual+-+M5+-+2020     
         
       3.error -
        EERROR:unsupported machine error (brcm93390smwvg2)
        
        solution-
        add machine name (brcm93390smwvg2) in a file vendor-arch.mk like below
        -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
               # To customize: This vendor layer supports Turris Omnia as a residential / business gateway
               # and Turris Omnia as Extender/GW. Put your machine name here.
                 ifeq ($(RDK_MACHINE),brcm93390smwvg2)
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        
        4. ERROR-

         Solution:
           
           Try to define above APIs in vif.c file (defination part you can get in wifi_hal.c file)
