Introduction - RDK Extender

• RDK Extender profile is a Yocto based RDK miniature build with opensource OpenSync agent
• OpenSync agent is cloud agnostic and it forms mesh orchestrated by Plume cloud
• RPI4 target is chosen for extender profile since this target is chip and widely available
• Two external Wi-Fi dongles are used for 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio support
• OpenSync's minimum requirement on the WiFi radio is the support for 2AP and 1 Station interface
• Conceptually, RPI4 extender can be used with different Gateway devices(which has OpenSync agent). But currently validated with TurrisOmnia RDKB GW
• Prerequisite: Need to contact Plume to acquiring TLS certificate and backhaul credential
