Scope

Goal of this document helps RDK-B community to Port Unified-easy-mesh on to their Gateway/Extender platforms

Assumption

• We assume that the development done on raspbian OS have enabled all the compiler options - Platform Agnostic C++ Coding for RDK-B

Test EM on Raspbian OS

• unified-wifi-mesh on RDK-B

Use cases

...

R5 Specification

...

R6 specification with Wi-Fi 7

Use case diagram

...

Generic Porting stages

• Yocto support
  • Done for all recipes
    • mysqlconnector-cpp (mysql-connector-cpp_1.1.19 New recipe)
    • MariadDB (From openembedded)
    • unified-wifi-mesh(unified-wifi-mesh.bb)

    • ccsp-one-wifi-libhebus.bb(New recipe)

• New cli migration
• Golang support
• Segmentation faults fixing

Current state

Done

...

Ongoing

• Golang support in RDK-B added
• ongoing with latest cli in progress
  • Creating yocto recipe to compile cli go code from yocto
  • Will retest the crashes and update 

Next phase

• Optimizing mariaDB - Target to keep size < 10 MB
• Package Manager
• Stripped onewifi for AP extender

...

• EasyMesh controller integration - On Going
• Test with BPI R4 controller & RPI4 Agent - TBD
• Test with with BPI R4 controller & BPI R4 agent - TBD

Extender specific steps

• OSS image with SoC specific changes done
• Integration of OneWifi on going
• EasyMesh Agent - To start after Onewifi integration
• Testing with RPI4 controller and BPI R4 Extender

Platform agnostic c++ coding

• Platform Agnostic C++ Coding for RDK-B

State machine(WIP)

• RDK-B EasyMesh StateMachine
  • RDK-B EasyMesh StateMachine

...

5. Test the connectivity to EM-Controller through backhaul

Test the connectivity with wireless clients.

Extender2 (For Daisy-Chain )

...

6. Wait for few minutes( for Agent to propagate SSID information from Controller to OneWifi in Extender2) and then check

• Check all configured VAPs should be up and running with "iw dev" command
• VAPs should be broadcasting default EasyMesh SSIDS (ie private_ssid, mesh_backhaul)

7. Test the connectivity to EM-Controller through backhaul

Test the connectivity with wireless clients.
