Create a custom package-group for the SoC/OEM which shall list all the recipes that are required for this image. For example, for the hybrid box the following recipe can be appended to the mediaserver package group.

• meta-rdk-soc-broadcom/meta-brcm/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-rdk-mediaserver.bbappend

  :

   

  Code Block
  RDEPENDS_packagegroup-rdk-generic-mediaserver += "\

  
  

  gstqamtunersrc-brcm \

Create a custom image for generating RFS for required SoC/OEM. For example,

• meta-rdk-<soc>/recipes-core/images/<soc>-hybrid-image.bb

  Code Block
  IMAGE_INSTALL += "\

  
  

  packagegroup-rdk-baserootfs \

  
  

  packagegroup-rdk-<soc/oem specific packages> \

  
  "

  • All the components are built using individual recipes. There shall be a main image recipe (example , rdk-generic-image) which includes all other required recipe and create the final RFS
  • Package groups recipe is one support a image recipe to select the set of packages
  • The recipes will be called in sequence
    (1) opensource components
    (2) Kernel
    (3) SDK
    (4) RDK
    (5) MSO
    (6) Packaging and create final image.
  • The final linux and RFS  image will be created under build_folder/tmp/deploy/images
