  3RDKB Emulator hal re-factoring      Emu   RDKB

Currently, we are hosting the Emulator hal source code in generic hal repo( i,e rdkb/components/opensource/ccsp/hal under the source-pc folder. So, it doesn't cause any impact on other targets). Getting the changes at rdk-next branch takes around 2 to 3 weeks after round tripping the comcast sprint, stable2 branches (Which is not ideally needed because the changes are in emulator HAL specific in source-pc)
So, hosting the repo in CMF will save the time to greater extend.

  • Added the updated RDKB emu hal source code in new repo
  • Updated all the hal bbappend 's in bsp-emulator layer
  • Removed the unwanted folders and moved all the remaining hal folders to source folder

Integrated SNMP module support in rpi platform

      R-PI   RDKB
  • SNMP Protocol Agent (PA) provides the solution for SNMP Protocol to access CCSP Data Model.
  • Externally, SNMP protocol agent works like a regular SNMP agent. It takes coming SNMP requests and sends back the corresponding results or errors.
  • Internally, SNMP protocol agent processes the SNMP requests and translates those into CCSP Messages. Those messages go on to CCSP Message Bus and come back with response messages. SNMP protocol agent processes the response messages and response to SNMP requests accordingly.
  • In order to translate between SNMP requests and CCSP Messages, SNMP protocol agent loads the XML files describing how MIB objects are mapped to Data Model objects.

    5Online / Offline status of connected devices on RDKB     R-Pi   RDK-B

In WebUI, connected Device > Devices > Connected clients status need to be updated properly.

If any new associated clients connected with our Gateway Device,that client information should be properly updated in WebUI under online status.

If any connected clients disconnects from our Gateway Device, that clients information's should be properly updated in WebUI under Offline status

For that, we have implemented the below api's,

update_wifi_inactive_AssociatedDeviceInfo()

wifi_getApInactiveAssociatedDeviceDiagnosticResult()

Telemetry : Cron Expression Support

      R-PiRDKB
  • On updating the configurations in xconf server , the updated details should be sent to rpi or rpi has to fetch the details from xconf on periodic basis
  • Periodic upload of logs
  • During log upload(tar file) to xconf , it is not uploading all the files. it uploads only few files 
  • A Method to create rules on bulk i.e.,if there are 10K devices, it is practically very difficult to create all the entries manually in xConf. 
  • In telemetry , While configuring the schedule with expression as */5 * * * *, the JSON message with generic profile details are flooded every 5 minutes. Whereas once in a day uploads JSON with markers to the xconf server. Needs to be fixed. This is observed in both "ActNow" and "CronExpression" options in DCM.
