Highlights since RDK-B_20180426

• Opensourced components:

  Components updated:

  • crashupload, rdk_logger, rdm, sys_resource, xupnp, CcspCMAgent, CcspCommonLibrary, CcspEPONAgent, CcspHomeSecurity, CcspLMLite, CcspMisc, CcspMoCA, CcspPandM, CcspSnmpPa, CcspTr069Pa, CcspWifiAgent, GwProvApp, TestAndDiagnostic, Utopia, Xconf, hal, halinterface, hotspot, sysint, webui, rdkb/devices/intel-x86-pc/emulator/tdkb, rdkb/devices/raspberrypi/hal, rdkb/devices/rdkbemu/ccsp/rdkb, rdkb/devices/rdkbemu/rdkbemu_xb3

• Patches:

  • Separate patch files for the open-source OE layers are no longer maintained. Instead, mirrors of the OE layers used by RDK are maintained at CMF, containing rdk branches that contain the patches already applied. The RDK build scripts and recipes now all use these instead of the previous patches.

• Community contributions:

  • A detailed changelog since the last iteration RDK-B_20180426 can be found here.

$ mkdir rdkb
$ cd rdkb
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-20180527
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle

• The -m rdkb.xml in the build sequence above is important. If this is not specified, you will get an RDK-V tree by default.
• The -b rdkb-20180527 in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use.
• If you omit the -b rdkb-20180527 entirely, you will get the master (HEAD) of each component.
• At any time, the community can build latest master by dropping the -b rdkb-20180527 option in the repo init command.

Building for the emulator

$ source meta-cmf-bsp-emulator/setup-environment (select qemux86broadband)
$ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image

...

To build TDK, follow the steps as for a normal build, above, but use the following bitbake command:

$ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-tdk-image

...

1. Start VirtualBox.
2. Click New -> Enter name -> Select type Linux -> Select version Other Linux (32 bit) -> Click Next
3. Select Memory size - 512MB -> Click Next
4. Select option Use an existing virtual hard drive -> Select the built image above -> Click Create
5. Once the VM has been created, select the new image and click Settings -> Network -> Select Attached to: 'Bridged Adapter' -> Click Ok
6. Click Start. This will bring up the emulator with the initial splash screen

Building for RaspberryPi

$ mkdir <workspace dir>
$ cd <workspace dir>
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-20180527-rpi
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
$ source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment

Select option raspberrypi-rdk-broadband.conf

$ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image
