The generated eSDK installer resides under the directory build-<MACHINE>/tmp/deploy/sdk/rdk-glibc-x86_64-arm-toolchain-ext-2.0.sh of the Yocto workspace.

Note: The generated eSDK installer script usually occupies 2 1.5 to 2.5 GB

eSDK Installation

...

Refer to the RDKCentral's credential configuration to setup RDK Central's credentials in the machine where eSDK to be installed. This is to access repositories by the RDK Yocto recipes that reside in the eSDK installer.

Installation

# run the installer script file
# installer asks for a directory to install (default directory ~/rdk_sdk)
# installer asks permission to proceed
./rdk-glibc-x86_64-arm-toolchain-ext-2.0.sh

Build Image

A complete RDK image can be generated from the eSDK installer.

Note: The same image where the eSDK populated can be generated here.

# devtool command to build image from eSDK
# <IMAGE> - rdk-generic-

mediaclient-wpe

broadband-image

or rdk-generic-hybrid-wpe-image


devtool build-image <IMAGE>

Known Issues

  1. Taskhash mismatch error may appear while generating image from sdk, but that would not break the build.
  2. Image generated from sdk , keeps rebooting for every 2 mins (to be addressed)
