• Convert OCI images generated by the Firebolt SDK into a lightweight, minimal OCI bundle specific to a device that can be run by Dobby on the STB
  • In traditional container solutions (Docker, Podman), this stage is performed by the container runtime itself.
• Parse the OCI Image Manifest/Configuration files to build the final bundle
• Expected to be used both in a cloud environment and on a development machine
  • Unlikely to be used on a STB
• Generated bundles must be able to run on a local machine/STB for use during application development
• Allow creating configuration files per DAC compatible device.
  • This will allow BundleGenerator to generate bundles that will work on a device without having access to that device's hardware/build environment
    

• Allow creating operator configurations to apply business logic to a container image file across all platforms.

• Support hardware variants/revisions of the same platform (e.g. Xi6-A and Xi6-T)

• Process an extended "application capabilities" section to add/remove/change specific sections of the generated bundle according to application requirements

• Prevent creating a bundle for an incompatible device.

  • If the device does not support the required RDK release, then the image cannot be run on that device.

  • However, aim to ensure broad compatibility of applications. The goal of running containerised apps is to allow applications to not be concerned about the platform they are running on

• Allow processing stages to be extended as necessary

• Output should be deterministic - for a given set of inputs, the output should always be identical (ignoring timestamps)
• Should generate the bundle in under 30 seconds to allow on-demand generation if a STB requests a bundle that is not in an operator's cache
