Target Build Variant
- RPI4 Kirkstone build with kernel 5.15
Identified task list
Need to learn how OpenSync work with OneWiFi - Communication is through DM/RBUS, not wifi hal. May need to refer Comcast device.
Need to compile OpenSync for OneWifi (some kconfig should be enabled)
Need to know how to start OpenSync through OneWiFi
Need to know OVSDB tables of OpenSync collaborate with OVSDB tables of OneWiFi(wifi.db)
Bringup OVSDB manager for synchronization
Wi-Fi interface alignment with Netgear wifi dongle and Make sure existing wifi functionality won't be disturbed.
Netgear driver support with Kirkstone version
Conversion of Linux bridge into OVS bridge(brlan0) - OVSAgent is now part of rootfs but not operational
Update dnsmasq configuration for OpenSync backhaul AP feature (wifi2, wifi3)
Enable IP_GRE as kernel module
Home AP bringup in RPI GW
Backhaul AP bringup in RPI GW
Make sure that GRE tunnel is created for backhaul communication and it is stable (Need to be tested with Extender)
Need to make sure that onewifi existing functionality is not breaking
...
Dongle's minimal support for 2AP and 1 STA.
If Netgear dongle is not providing such support, need to find new WiFi dongle.
Device provisioning in Plume Inventory (require Plume's support)
- ovsdb manager/OVSM acts as medium between onewifi webconfig subdoc and plume controller
- OpenSync have run-time dependencies with ovsdb-server & openvswitch(ovsdb-server start up is part of ovsagent . currently, this server is not running in rpi).
Considerations
...
if we go with dunfell, we may need to put extra effort for kirkstone based build
dunfell may be supported for next few releases.
if we want to go with dunfell based build, its better to start with 64bit build
Validation
Check opensync service / OpenSync process will be run by meshagent DM parameter
Check opensync managers
Check Manager table for Online status
Associate RPI4 extender with RPI4 gateway
- check ovsdb and wifi db table updation if any action taken in plume NOC / RDK WebUICheck synchronization of both OpenSync DB and RDKB Wifi DB tables during updates through Plume NOC / RDKB WebUI/ DMCLI
- All Wi-Fi testcase should be working with Netgear Wi-Fi dongle in Kirkstone
- Validation of Mesh will be done with SuperPOD as extender
Risks
- Availability of OVSM for RDK Community is mandatory
- Wireless interface names for Wifi dongle needs to be aligned for OpenSync convention
