Build environment

Please register to code.rdkcentral.com and share to RDKM to enable Amlogic repo access. (Need Amlogic to approve access to the request).

On build machine, add code.rdkcental.com login in your netrc file.

ie vi ~/.netrc

Update ~/.ssh/config for Amlogic openlinux.

To access, Amlogic DRM, need to share ssh private key to Amlogic and get it enable for Openlinux access for Widevide,Playready,Secmem repos.

Configure it accordingly in ~/.ssh/config

Build Steps for rdk-next (Master)

Build Steps:

Note: To enable build with DRM(Playready & Widevine), Please

...

reach out to Amlogic for Openlinux access for DRM libraries. Need to have below repository access.

NOTE: Both Amlogic and RDKM teams enable MS12 audio on the build. To enable MS12 audio in the build, need to enable build option "--enable-dv-ms12" .

This may effect some of YTS tests with respect to partial audio to fail if no MS12 audio(though ms12 is not directly needed, due to audio path, it may need ms12 audio to enable).

Check if you have access to Amlogic restricted repos.

...

Execute below command to check if  you have PlayReady access git clone ssh://git@openlinux.amlogic.com/vendor/playready.git   Execute below command to check if you have Widevine access git clone ssh://git@openlinux.amlogic.com/yocto/vendor/widevine

...

Please contact your Amlogic

...

sales or FAE teams

...

to get restricted DRM repo access if you do not have yet.

Steps to build libloader-apps:

• Libloader-app recipe path: meta-rdk-video/recipes-extended/cobalt/libloader-app_24.lts.stable.bb
• Libloader-app append path: meta-rdk-aml

...

• /recipes-extended/cobalt/libloader-app_24.lts.stable.bbappend
• Cobalt plugin recipe path: meta-rdk-video/recipes-extended/cobalt/cobalt-plugin_git.bb
• RDK Starboard path: build/tmp/work/armv7at2hf-neon-rdkmllib32-linux-gnueabi/lib32-libloader-app/24.lts.stable+gitAUTOINC+ecdcfdb8e5_8e7fcc2fe2-40/git/third_party/starboard/rdk/shared/
• To build libloader-app or cobalt-plugin modules individually:
  • bitbake lib32-libloader-app
  • bitbake lib32-cobalt-plugin
• To make changes in Starboard module:
  • Navigate to the starboard path - build/tmp/work/armv7at2hf-neon-rdkmllib32-linux-gnueabi/lib32-libloader-app/24.lts.stable+gitAUTOINC+ecdcfdb8e5_8e7fcc2fe2-40/git/third_party/starboard/rdk/shared/
  • Make necessary changes
  • Come back to build folder
  • Re-compile and build again - bitbake lib32-libloader-app -c compile && bitbake lib32-libloader-app

Cobalt library path: 

• • Evergreen libloader-app library: build/tmp/work/armv7at2hf-neon-rdkmllib32-linux-gnueabi/lib32-libloader-app/24.lts.stable+gitAUTOINC+ecdcfdb8e5_8e7fcc2fe2-40/image/usr/lib/libloader_app.so
