Add TFTP location

An HTTP location will be returned by default to all devices. To enable tftp as download location for a particular set of devices, we need to override it from firmware rules.

1. Go to Firmware -> Firmware Rules -> Define Properties -> Create

    2.  A page will be displayed with options to select the template. Select ‘DOWNLOAD_LOCATION_FILTER’ from the list

3. In this 'firmware rule'  page with type 'DOWNLOAD_LOCATION_FILTER', we need to specify the ‘Build Conditions’ and ‘Action’ , The build condition should be same as that we used to set rule actions(which will set rules for our intended devices). In ‘Properties’ option under ‘Action’, add ‘firmwareDownloadProtocol’ as ‘tftp’, ‘firmwareLocation’ as ‘your tftp location IPV4 address’. This property will override the default value set from ‘Download Round Robin location filter’.

4. To add IPV6 address of tftp servers, you can either specify it here in the define properties rule or else from ‘Download Round Robin Filter’ page. To add IPV6, add it as ‘ipv6FirmwareLocation’ Property in ‘define properties rule’ page (ipv6FirmwareLocation key will be there by default, you need to add the value as tftp ipv6 address).

5. To add IPV6 address of tftp servers in ‘Download Round Robin Filter’, Go to Firmware - > Download Location Filter. Enter the tftp IPV6 locations and also the percentages. The devices will get back one of the locations based on the percentage listed for the location.

6. Response example for https://xconf.rdkcentral.com:9092/xconf/swu/stb?eStbMac={mac}. Here the 'firmwareLocation' and  'firmwareDownloadProtocol' are overrided at 'Define Properties' firmware rule.
The 'ipv6' addresses will be one of the addresses mentioned in the 'Download Filter' page
{

  "firmwareDownloadProtocol": "tftp",

  "firmwareFilename": "rdkb-generic-broadband-image_default_20200406103506.rootfs.rpi-sdimg",

  "firmwareLocation": "192.168.1.9",

  "firmwareVersion": "rdkb-generic-broadband-image_default_20200406103506.txt",

  "ipv6FirmwareLocation": "2601:1f18:227b:c00:767a:afd0:82bb:efa6",

  "rebootImmediately": false

}

7. Setting up IPV4 locations via ‘Download Location Round Robin Filter’ is not supported. This can be set only by the property 'firmwareLocation' from the 'Define Properties' firmware rule page.
