Scope

Goal is to provide RDK-B Easymesh Agent reference profile for RDK-B community

Prerequisite

OEM Device or SoC reference device should boot with Kernel & all required drivers should load & we should be in a position to login to shell

Roles & Responsibilities of each team to deliver EasyMesh AP solution to ISP's

ISP's
- Define RFP with all requirements to SoC and OEM's including RAM and flash requirement
SoC Vendor
- Deliver Base Kernel & Drivers to OEM
OEM
- Integrate SoC Kernel & drivers
- Customization of drivers if required
- OSS component Integration
- Onewifi integration
- EasyMesh Agent integration
- IEEE1905 Integration
- Developer testing
- Deliver working EasyMesh AP profile to ISP
  - Agent device should onboard to gateway as Star
  - Agent device should onboard to Agent device in Daisy chain
  - There need to be a single EasyMesh Agent in Gateway as well as Agent profile
  - CAPI integration
  - EasyMesh Precertification
  - Easymesh R6 certification
ISP's
- Principal engineer reviews test results and code base (Kernel,Drivers,HAL,EasyMesh,Onewifi,rdk-wifi-hal,hostap,etc)shared by OEM
  - Build the code
  - Validate the code and make sure all fundamental use cases work
  - Deliver the standard image with Dev testing team
- Dev test team do end to end validation of image and share feedback with principal engineer
- Principal engineer review feature with wifi architect & Product architect.
  - Compare with product requirement
  - Compare with architecture requirements
  - Discuss and security related items
  - Review against RFP requirements.
- Share feedback with OEM if any.
- Share additional requirements with OEM if they want to implement any ISP specific features
- Core wifi team need to handle ISP specific changes on easymesh repo and maintain a local patch or if its enhancement as per spec,contribute back to RDK
System Integrators
- Get in sync with ISP/OEM/SoC
App vendors
- Closely work with ISP and their associated SoC and OEM

How does it serve community

This will be a core reference profile for SoC and OEM's to develop AP agent profile on base SDK
This will help OEM's/SoC's to identify list of components required
This will help OEM/SoC companies to prepare MVP for their ISP's (RDK Team will share test cases)

What is the chipset RDK used for developing AP profile

Test Results

Daisy chain Topology

Connected BPI gateway and extender via backhaul, with SSIDs up and running across all interfaces
VAPs are broadcasting EasyMesh default SSIDs(eg, private_ssid, mesh_backhaul)
