Functional Test Report

Please refer to the below link for the System Test reports of Mediaclient and Hybrid images

• RDK-services-Yocto3.1-Hybrid-E-09874-01-01STP80.xls
• RDK-services-Yocto3.1-Mediaclient-E-09874-01-01STP81.xls

Introduction

RDK Services are nothing but the RDK components are implemented as Thunder Nano Services and maintained in RDK Central's GitHub https://github.com/rdkcentral/rdkservices

Initially, this is started in the Comcast side and validated on the RPi reference platform and the Yocto recipe is maintained only in meta-rdk-video layer.  Recently RDK services are made open-source and available in GitHub so, the recipe to avail this on CMF community (meta-cmf-video layer) as rdkservices_git.bbappend which points to GitHub's repository.

Currently, RDK services are excluded from Thunder Image builds and this depends with ServiceManager and WPE WebKit for (OpenCDM Implementation)

RDK Services is work on top of RDK Shell which is an application management native component.
