Below you can find how to setup and run emulated RDK-B from image build for Raspberry Pi 4. It can be useful for CICD systems, for the first run after the new image build or some new features tests. Currently ETH interface is functional.
Ubuntu 22.04 64-bit
At least 8GB of RAM
256GB hard drive
Please follow the guide: Ubuntu | Docker Docs
Use docker without sudo: Post-installation steps | Docker Docs
Build your RDK-B Raspberry Pi 4 64-bit image, example: https://wiki.rdkcentral.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=292335921
Follow below steps:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
mkdir ~/vRDK-B cd ~/vRDK-B mkdir qemu_files |
Copy RPI 4 image to ~/vRDK-B/qemu_files:
Image-raspberrypi4-64-rdk-broadband.bin
rdk-generic-broadband-tdk-image-raspberrypi4-64-rdk-broadband.wic.bz2
Create Dockerfile and paste:

cd ~/vRDK-B docker build -t vrdk-b \ --build-arg QEMU_VERSION=9.2.0 \ --build-arg QEMU_USER=dev \ --build-arg QEMU_UID=${USER_ID} \ -f Dockerfile . |
Run container:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|

docker run -d \ --name vrdk-b \ --privileged \ -e KERNEL_FILE=Image-raspberrypi4-64-rdk-broadband.bin \ -e IMAGE_FILE=rdk-generic-broadband-tdk-image-raspberrypi4-64-rdk-broadband.wic.bz2 \ -e HOST_FWD=hostfwd=tcp::2223-:22,hostfwd=tcp::8081-:80 \ -p 2223:2223 \ -p 8081:8081 \ -v /dev:/dev \ -v ${PWD}/qemu_files:/qemu \ --mount type=bind,source=$(pwd)/run-vrdk-b.sh,target=/run-vrdk-b.sh \ -it vrdk-b |
Run qemu:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
docker exec -it vrdk-b /run-vrdk-b.sh |
Wait until vRDK-B boot.
