Refer to the below link for Host Machine Setup
How to Build#SettinguptheHostEnvironment
All RPi based RDK images with the latest features are from the rdk-next branch
To build RDK images from ipstb_bringup branch, follow the below build procedure
mkdir workspace cd workspace # initialize the manifest with repo tool # initialize the manifest with repo tool repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests -b rdk-next -m rdkv-extsrc.xml repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags
MACHINE=raspberrypi-rdk-ipmc source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment bitbake rdk-generic-ipclient-image
The image file will be generated under build-<MACHINE>/tmp/deploy/images/<MACHINE>
directory.
eg: $ pwd
build-raspberrypi-rdk-ipmc/tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi-rdk-ipmc
$ ls -lrt rdk-generic-ip-stb-client_rdk-next_20210914060227.rootfs.rpi-sdimg

build-raspberrypi-rdk-ipmc/tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi-rdk-ipmc$
For flashing the image use dd command.
eg: sudo dd if=rdk-generic-ip-stb-client_rdk-next_20210914060227.rootfs.rpi-sdimg of=/dev/sdb bs=4M
