Yocto Build
Host Machine Setup
Hardware requirements:
- Ubuntu 18.04 desktop machine
- RAM - 8 GB or more
- Memory - a minimum of 100 GB free space
Refer to the link for host machine setup: Host Setup
Yocto workspace setup
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b dunfell -m rdkb-extsrc.xml
repo sync -j`nproc` --no-clone-bundle
Populate eSDK
MACHINE=raspberrypi4-rdk-broadband source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment
bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image -c populate_sdk_ext -f
The generated eSDK installer resides under the directory build-<MACHINE>/tmp/deploy/sdk/rdk-glibc-x86_64-arm-toolchain-ext-2.0.sh of the Yocto workspace.
Note: The generated eSDK installer script usually occupies 1.5 to 2.5 GB
eSDK Installation
The installer can be done on any x86_64 Linux machines.
Host Configuration
Refer to the RDKCentral's credential configuration to setup RDK Central's credentials in the machine where eSDK to be installed. This is to access repositories by the RDK Yocto recipes that reside in the eSDK installer.
Installation
# run the installer script file
# installer asks for a directory to install (default directory ~/rdk_sdk)
# installer asks permission to proceed
./rdk-glibc-x86_64-arm-toolchain-ext-2.0.s(default directory ~/rdk_sdk)
# installer asks permission to proceed
./rdk-glibc-x86_64-arm-toolchain-ext-2.0.sh
Below is the result (terminal output) of the installation
xxxuser@yyy-machine-003:~/RPi_esdk/build-raspberrypi-rdk-broadband/tmp/deploy/sdk$ ./rdk-glibc-x86_64-arm-toolchain-ext-2.0.sh RDK (A Yocto Project based Distro) Extensible SDK installer version 2.0

SDK has been successfully set up and is ready to be used.
Each time you wish to use the SDK in a new shell session, you need to source the environment setup script e.g.
$ . /mnt/home/mgopal850/rdk_sdk/environment-setup-cortexa7t2hf-neon-vfpv4-rdk-linux-gnueabi
Build from eSDK
This section covers how to use the eSDK for component build and image build
Environment Setup
The installer can be run on any x86_64 Linux based machines.
# change directory to the installed path
cd ~/rdk_sdk
# setup the eSDK environemnt
source environment-setup-cortexa7t2hf-neon-vfpv4-rdk-linux-gnueabi
New Components
Add Component
# way 1
# add a new recipe with URL
devtool add <recipe_name> <source URL>
devtool add mosquitto "http://mosquitto.org/files/source/mosquitto-1.6.10.tar.gz"
# way 2
# add a new recipe with external source directory
devtool add <recipe_name> <absolute path>
# eg. devtool add wireless-tools /path/for/source/directory
Modify Component
# modify existing recipe's URL or srctree or to add patches
devtool modify <recipe_name> <new URL>
devtool modify mosquitto "http://mosquitto.org/files/source/mosquitto-1.6.10.tar.gz"
Edit Component's recipe
# modify recipe from an editor
devtool edit-recipe <recipe_name>
# eg. devtool edit-recipe mosquitto
Build Components
# Pre-requisite: add a new recipe using devtool
devtool build <recipe_name>
# eg. devtool build mosquitto
Deploy binaries
# Pre-requisite: add a new recipe using devtool
devtool deploy-target <recipe_name> <target_path>
# eg. devtool deploy-target mosquitto root@192.168.xx.xx
Build Image
A complete RDK image can be generated from the eSDK installer.
Note: The same image where the eSDK populated can be generated here.
# devtool command to build image from eSDK
# <IMAGE> - rdk-generic-broadband-image
devtool build-image <IMAGE>
Known Issues
- Taskhash mismatch error may appear while generating image from sdk, but that would not break the build.
- Below do_rootfs error may appear while building image through devtool , we can fix through devtool upgrade <recipe_name> and adding respective needed LDFLAGS and depends in the recipe in the workspace directory
Problem 1/2:
* - nothing provides libbreakpadwrapper0 >= 5+git999 needed by ccsp-tr069-pa-5-r0.aarch64
*
* Solution 1:
* - do not ask to install a package providing packagegroup-rdk-ccsp-broadband
