RDK-B Bootup Sequence
- GwProvApp-Ethwan is the entry point for RDK-B stack middleware. It does all gateway initialization as above
- Responsible to initiate the registration of all services on boot -up. Responsible for all provisioning of LAN,FIREWALL(iptables),BRIDGE,etc
- GwProvApp-EthWan is specifically designed for Ethernet only Input feed for WAN Network Connection(i,e erouter0)
...
- Ethernet Port of RPI should be connected to WAN Network
- Connect WiFi Dongle to RPI ( Please refer to supported dongle here RDKB RPI Setup Information#DonglesInformationLinks )
- Client PC(s) should be connected to RPI through Usb2Ethernet Adaptor which should be supported by RPI ( Please refer to https://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Ethernet_adapters for supported usb to ethernet adapter by RPI ). Ethernet switch is an optional in between usb2ethernet adapter and Client PC
- Once powered on, RPI should be able to list interfaces erouter0,brlan0 and wlan0 after boot up
- Logs can be verified under /rdklogs/logs folder
- Now, client pc should be able to get private ip in the rage 10.0.0.x range
- Client PC should be able to connect to internet now. Ping test can also be done by connecting gateway ip 10.0.0.1
- Connected client PC information can be verified through webui by executing URL 10.0.0.1 in Client PC Browser and login with following credentials
- Username : admin
Password : password- Two radios are supported by RPI (2.4 and 5 GHz) respectively. By default following SSID's are broadcasted by RPI under respective radio
- 2.4GHz (Private WiFi)
- SSID name - "RPI3_RDKB-AP0"
- Password - "rdk@1234"
- 5 GHz (Xfinity WiFi)
- SSID name - "RPI3_RDKB-AP1"
- Password - "rdk@1234"
- Connect mobile with above default SSID name and password for respective radio. Any one radio should be used for establishing connection in mobile
- Now, mobile should be able to get private ip in the rage 10.0.0.x range
- To get Internet for both mobile and wired client pc , user should configure captive portal by accessing any url or 10.0.0.1 from mobile browser or PC browser. When RPI image is flashed for the first time captive portal will be enabled which will auto redirect to captive portal page and asks user to re-configure the default SSID name and password of radio(s) . Please refer to Captive Portal in R-Pi User Manual for more information.
- Client PC should be able to connect to internet now. Ping test can also be done by connecting gateway ip 10.0.0.1
- Since reconfiguration is done for default After reconfiguration of SSID username and password in webUI, provide the modified reconfigured SSID and password in mobile too for reconnection with RPI
- Now, mobile and wired client pc should be able to browse the internet. Please refer to Clients Connection and its set up Diagram in RPI - User Manual for more information regarding the same for both wired and wireless connection information
- Connected client(s) PC and mobile information can be verified through webui by executing URL 10.0.0.1 in Client PC Browser and login with following credentials
- Username : admin
- Password : password
- Please refer to link Webui Functions for various features that can be controlled through webui
