Last official release: rdkb-2024q1-dunfell

Host Setup

The OpenEmbedded build system should be able to run on Ubuntu 18.04 distribution/other compatible linux distribution with the following versions for Git, tar, and Python.

  • Git 1.8.3.1 or greater
  • tar 1.27 or greater
  • Python 3.4.0 or greater
  • Coreutils(E.g realpath)

Note: You should also have about 50 Gbytes of free disk space for building images.

The essential packages you need for a supported Ubuntu or Debian distribution are shown in the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib \
  build-essential chrpath socat cpio python python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect \
  xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping python3-git python3-jinja2 libegl1-mesa libsdl1.2-dev \
  pylint3 xterm bmap-tools zstd liblz4-tool lz4 libncurses-dev

$ sudo apt-get install git cmake autoconf texinfo openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre \
  m4 libtool libtool-bin curl pkg-config lib32z1 doxygen

Repo Setup

In order to use Yocto build system, the repo tool must be properly installed on the machine.

To install Repo make sure you have a /bin directory in your home directory and that it is included in your path

Repo Setup Steps
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Download the repo tool and ensure that it is executable
$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

Note: it is also recommended to put credentials in ~/.netrc when interacting with repo.

A sample ~/.netrc file is illustrated below

.netrc
machine code.rdkcentral.com login YOUR_USERNAME password YOUR_PASSWORD

Yocto Build Steps

To build, follow below instructions

Build Steps
$ mkdir <workspace dir>
$ cd <workspace dir>
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b dunfell -m rdkb-extsrc.xml
$ repo sync -j`nproc` --no-clone-bundle
$ MACHINE=raspberrypi4-64-rdk-broadband source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment
$ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image

Flashing Procedure

Following command can be used to flash the RPI image to sd card using linux machine . bmap tool should be available in linux

Flash command
bzip2 -d <path to ImageName.wic.bz2>
sudo -E bmaptool copy --nobmap <path to ImageName.wic> <path to SD card space>

Example:

$ bzip2 -d rdk-generic-broadband-image-raspberrypi4-64-rdk-broadband.wic.bz2
$ sudo -E bmaptool copy --nobmap rdk-generic-broadband-image-raspberrypi4-64-rdk-broadband.wic /dev/sdb

    I followed the build instructions to build raspberrypi4-64-rdk-broadband model

    $ mkdir <workspace dir>
$ cd <workspace dir>
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b dunfell -m rdkb-extsrc.xml
$ repo sync -j`nproc` --no-clone-bundle
$ MACHINE=raspberrypi4-64-rdk-broadband source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment
$ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image

    But got failed with bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image

    With error 'xhBackupRestoreServiceAPI', I also referred below link:

    Zilker-SDK Yocto integration for RDKB RPI

    It said 'Need to export the gradle and java bin path via recipe or ipcGenerator script'.

    My java path is in /usr/bin/

    and gradle path is in /opt/gradle/gradle-6.5.1/bin/gradle

    (check cmd: whereis gradle)

    rdadm@245163:/build/vic/rdkb-0401/build-raspberrypi4-64-rdk-broadband$ whereis gradle
gradle: /opt/gradle/gradle-6.5.1/bin/gradle.bat /opt/gradle/gradle-6.5.1/bin/gradle

    And I added path with meta-cmf-broadband/recipes-iot/zilker-sdk/zilker-sdk_git.bb:


    do_configure_prepend () {
    cd ${S}
    #cleaning the previous build of gradle
    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin
+    export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gradle/gradle-6.5.1/bin
    gradle clean


    But got same error with 'No SOURCES given to target: xhBackupRestoreServiceAPI'.

    Is there any other PATH setting needed?

    Hi Unknown User (john.pomeroy) ,

    Could you please try a build from CMF latest release branch  - rdkb-2022q2-dunfell.

    We will check the dunfell build issue once from our end.


    Thank you.

    Are these Host Specific depedencies command which is descripted :

      Hi Unknown User (ashish_spanidea) 

      python-is-python2 and some older python package no longer exists in ubuntu latest version , Could you share the python version and python3 version from your Host system.( command : python --version)

      If you need python2 to be the default for the python command you can do something like:

      sudo ln -s /bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python

    Hello, I have followed your instructions to build images, I have tried from 2022q1 to 2023q1, as licensed and unlicensed, the result has always been the same even for all versions of raspberry (3b+, 4b 32bit, 4b 64bit)  I'm mainly interested in rpi4 64bit but I'm open to getting 3b+ working as well

    I get the following:

    1. Elvira Sichevaia

      This appears to be resulting from git not supporting submodule--helper command in latest versions.

      I've addressed this by the below patch in openembedded-core (also refer https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?id=0533edac277080e1bd130c14df0cbac61ba01a0c):

    Tried following below procedure

    Building for RaspberryPi 4B 64 Bit

mkdir <workspace dir>

cd <workspace dir>

repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-2023q1-dunfell  

repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags

sudo -E bmaptool copy --nobmap rdkb-generic-broadband-image_rdkb-2023q1-dunfell_20230709144642.rootfs.wic  /dev/mmcblk0


    Able to build the raspberry pi rdkb code, flash image to the sd card successfully but unable to see any logs on the console output. I confirm the baudrate and serial cable are intact. 

    Unable to access any content in the sdcard on windows machine. 

    How to know if the sdcard has the rootfs is flashed and do we need to configure to boot it up ? Any led indication/pattern that can help to know if the stack is up and running?
