How to Build#SettinguptheHostEnvironment
Yocto Build Setup
All RPi based RDK images with the latest features are from the rdk-next branch
Initializing the Build Environment
To build RDK images from rdk-next branch, follow the below build procedure
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
mkdir workspace
cd workspace
# initialize the manifest with repo tool
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-next -m rdkv-extsrc.xml
repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags
To build the image from the development branch, the respective sprint month's development branch to be chosen and follow the below build procedure
For example, to take the development branch of September 2020, the rdk-dev-2009 branch to be used
mkdir workspace
cd workspace
# initialize the manifest with repo tool
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-dev-2009 -m rdkv-nosrc.xml
repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags

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

I want to konw if this image file(rdk-generic-mediaclient-image) can operate on Raspberry Pi 4B .

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.

Unknown User (dsuseelan) Is this still the case?
Unknown User (dsuseelan)
Unknown User (bzmood)
Yes it is. Currently RDK Video is not supported for RPI4 platform
Unknown User (zhanfei.yang)
So does it support RPI2 platform
Unknown User (gprasad)
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
Thanks,
