Getting the code

Note: The repository are only available to RDK members for whom it is provisioned.


Code Block
1. How to set workspace
  $ mkdir <workspace -dir>
  $ cd <workspace -dir>
  $ repo init -u <Manifest-Repository> -m Manifest.xml -b rdk-next

  e.g. $ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m Manifestrdkv.xml -b rdk-next

-2. How to download AVS components
 a) Add below entries in manifest to download Alexa voice dependencies.

$ git clone https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/    <project dest-branch="rdk-next" name="components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-rdk-voice" path="meta-rdk-voice" revision="rdk-next" upstream="rdk-next"/>
    <project name="components/generic/avs/alexa_skill_mapper" revision="rdk-next"/> 
 [OR]
 b) Clone the meta layer (works for non external-src builds)
    $ git clone https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-rdk-voice

$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
Note:
* The <Manifest-Repository> URL along with-m Manifest.xml option in the build sequence abovecan isbe important. Using it one canused to download either generic RDK code or that of the RDK accelerator collaboration repositories.
If this is not specified, you will get an RDK-V tree by default.
* The -b rdk-next in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use. To download one of the tagged releases, -b <tag-name> should be used.
