4. Verify that image file and its respective md5 checksum file is present in the tftp http folder:

amrita@amrita-OptiPlex-9020:~/tftphome$ keerthana@keerthana-INVALID:/var/www/html$ ls
rdkb-generic-broadband-image_default_2019081207441220200529140558.rootfs.rpi-sdimg
folder rdkb-generic-broadband-image_default_2019081207441220200529140558.txt

5. Start tftp server and xinetd:

sudo service tftpd-hpa restart

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

RPi - Board

...

1. Flash the RDKB image supported for Firmware upgrade feature in the Rpi and verify the 2 partitions(ex. mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2) present under dev folder (use command ls /dev)
2. Device auto-reboots and verify there are 2 more additional partitions are created (ex. mmcblk0p3, mmcblk0p4).
3. Open /etc/include.properties file and verify the CLOUDURL parameter where XConf Server URL is configured
4. Verify the image version ( cat /version.txt) displays the flashed image version
5. Open /rdklogs/logs/swupdate.log to verify the communication from RPI board with XConf Server and the download status
6. Verify the tftp download is happening by noticing the change of file size using below command:cd /extblock/tftpimage/imagedwnldls -lh  (use this command frequently to verify the file size change) if tftp protocol was selected in XCONF UI
   
7. Verify the http download is happening by noticing the change of file size using below command : cd /extblock/httpimage/imagedwnldls -lh(use this command frequently to verify the file size change)if http protocol was selected in XCONF UI
   
8. Once image download completed, the Rpi board will auto reboot and come up with downloaded image
9.  Verify the version of booted image which shows the downloaded image version

...

• Build the image ( RDKB ). For RDKV please follow specific instructions
  
• Ensure 8GB sd-card is available for flashing
• Flash the build image to sd-card
• If Firmware upgrade is targeted for multi boot and RDKB image is flashed for the first time follow resize procedure
• Setup xconf server ready with rules and download location for RPI device
• Place the new image in xconf server
• Boot the flashed image

...

Note : 1. RPI will go for reboot while booting for the first time, since two more partition needs to be created which requires reboot. Depends on the image present in xconf and RPI, further reboot will happen for upgrade. Please refer to design (RDKB RPI Firmware Upgrade with support of HTTP protocol - Design - 2019 M72020 M6) for how firmware upgrade works with bank switching

...

3. If the user wants to view swupdate.log file then follow below steps:
    a) Disable log rotation feature - This wipes out the log file if size exceeds after 1min
        For B image  command - systemctl disable rdkbLogMonitor
        For V image command - systemctl disable logrotation.service
   b) Reboot the box - This will make swupdate.service restart and user can start getting swupdate.log both for B and V image

4.   Download of Video image(size 592 MB) takes roughly 40 min time and Broadband(size 292MB) image takes roughly 20 min time from Cloud server(Xconf). Broadband to Video or Video to Broadband is taking approx 15 min time to boot up after download from XConf server is completed.

5. Minimum extended partition should be 1GB, to verify multiboot firmware feature.
