Goal is to provide RDK-B Easymesh Agent

...

reference profile for RDK-B

Block diagram

...

Reference code changes to bringup base image

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
