Introduction

This manual describes the up-gradation of Yocto tools, the default build system used in RDK Broadband, from morty(2.2) to dunfell(3.1). In addition to upgrades to opensource packages, Yocto 3.1 also contain Long term Support release feature. The current version lacks the variety of features available in the dunfell.

Considerations for Turris Gateway build:

  • OpenEmbedded and Yocto Dunfell.
  • Linux kernel 4.14.
  • Version upgrades for bitbake and other oe recipes(if needed).

Environment Setup

  • Host- environment

  1. In Ubuntu 18.04 version, consider the versions of git(1.8.3.1 or greater), tar(1.27 or greater), Python(3.4.0 or greater), Coreutils.
  2. Take a look on the following packages,

            $ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat cpio python python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect xz-utils debianutils iputils-                ping python3-git python3-jinja2 libegl1-mesa libsdl1.2-dev pylint3 xterm

      3. Configure repo

      4. Ensure the .netrc and .gitconfig files

  • Build instructions for creating rdk-generic-broadband-image  build

      The following commands fetches the source code of turris using repo tool and create the image using bitbake

repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb-turris-extsrc.xml  -b  yocto-dunfell-upgrade
 
repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
 
MACHINE=turris source meta-turris/setup-environment
 
bitbake core-image-minimal
