2. Build Setup
2.1. Initialization
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests -m rdkc-nosrc.xml -b dunfell
( or )
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests -m rdkc-extsrc.xml -b dunfell
2.2. Download/Sync
$ repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags
2.3. Layer Cherrypick
This is the temporary steps,once the changes get merged in rdk-next then we will remove this cherry pick details
Below changes are needed for libcamera
cd meta-cmf-raspberrypi
1. git fetch https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdk/components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-cmf-raspberrypi refs/changes/96/77096/2 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
2. git fetch https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdk/components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-cmf-raspberrypi refs/changes/77/76077/4 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
cd meta-cmf-camera
1. git fetch https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-cmf-camera refs/changes/98/77098/1 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
2.4. Environment Setup
$ MACHINE=raspberrypi3-rdk-camera source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment
$ MACHINE=raspberrypi0-rdk-camera source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment
2.5. Building
$ bitbake rdk-generic-camera-image
2.6. Source Code Cherrypick
This is the temporary steps,once the changes get merged in rdk-next then we will remove this cherry pick details

These paths for the manifests are wrong. Some digging around indicates it might be that https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests has moved to https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests
Unknown User (kbingham)
Can the difference between rdkc-extsrc.xml and rdkc-nosrc.xml be documented please? What is the distinction between them ?
Unknown User (kbingham)
Unknown User (e.savidha) Are you able to clarify the distinction of these two options please? Should I prefer extsrc or nosrc ?
Unknown User (e.savidha)
For extsrc , Generic code will be fetch only once during repo sync and other components will be fetch and compiled during bitbake.
if you don't make any modification in generic component, then we can go for extsrc.
Please find generic component list in this inc file : https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/plugins/gitiles/rdk/components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-cmf/+/refs/heads/rdk-next/conf/distro/include/rdk-external-src.inc
with nosrc, All component will be fetched and compiled during build time (bitbake rdk-genric-camera-image)
For development activity, we can go with nosrc manifest.
Unknown User (e.savidha)
Did you tried with this build instruction?
As we are able to compile this build with this instruction.

I'm building on Ubuntu 22.04 - and Dunfell looks like it has much older requirements. I'll set up a dockerised build to get the correct deps.
is not readable to me. Can you confirm that this is the correct manifest address?
But https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests
Unknown User (e.savidha)
code.rdkcentral credential is needed for to access this https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests manifests, but for this https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests manifests no need any credential..
We can do the compilation with this manifests also..
https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests
As we checked build with below build instruction as well.
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests -m rdkc-nosrc.xml -b dunfell
$
reposync-j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags$ MACHINE=raspberrypi3-rdk-camerasourcemeta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment$ bitbake rdk-generic-camera-imageUnknown User (kbingham)
I believe https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests is also unavailable without credentials. But at least my credentials can access that one. I expect now I can access the manifest, I should be able to build once I have an ubuntu 18.04 VM set up. (I believe the compiler errors I faced are likely due to having host components that are 'too new', and not supported by Dunfell).

https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests This manifest we can access without credential as well, please use below URL to view in browser page.
https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/plugins/gitiles/rdkcmf/manifests
Unknown User (kbingham)
Thanks, I've just repeated this again now - yes I can confirm I can access
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests -m rdkc-nosrc.xml -b dunfell
without entering credentials. I expect the 404 when accessing the url directly has thrown me off.
Can that link be the default for the build documentation?
Or separate the Initialization section with a tab to split for both internal/external users please?
Unknown User (e.savidha)
Hi Unknown User (kbingham)
Thanks for your information!!!
Few days back only , this manifests got opensourced to this rdkcmf/manifests path.
I have updated rdkcmf/manifests path in this build instruction(repo init).
Unknown User (e.savidha)
Hi Unknown User (kbingham)
Did you able to setup this camera build in your environment?
Please use this link for host environment setup How to Build#SettinguptheHostEnvironment
As of now , we did this build setup in 18.04 and 20.04, If possible please try to do this build in these linux version supported system.
Unknown User (kbingham)
Yes, thanks Unknown User (e.savidha) I was able to create a clean ubuntu 18.04 environment with docker, and build inside that in the end.
Unknown User (scott.kamp)
Nope, seems something wrong with it at the moment
