• 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  • Separate patch files for the open-source OE layers are no longer maintained.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.

Getting the code

Note: The manifests repository is only available to RDK licensees.

$ mkdir <workspace dir>
$ cd <workspace dir>
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-2019053120190530
$ 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-20190531 20190530 in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use.
• If you omit the -b rdkb-20190531 20190530 entirely, you will get the HEAD of each component which may be the latest Master.

Building for the emulator

$ source meta-cmf-bsp-emulator/setup-environment (select qemux86broadband-morty)
$ 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-20190531
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
$ source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment

Select option raspberrypi-rdk-broadband.conf

$ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image
