How to Build#SettinguptheHostEnvironment

Build Setup

All RPi based RDK images with the latest features are from the rdk-next branch

Initializing the Build Environment

To build RDK images from rdk-next branch, follow the below build procedure

mkdir workspace
cd workspace

# initialize the repo
# for Non-ASP
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-next -m rdkv-nosrc.xml

repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags

mkdir workspace
cd workspace

# initialize the repo
# for ASP (applicable for TDK)
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-next -m rdkv-asp-nosrc.xml

repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags

Image build

Link to check possible RDK images on RPi - https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/plugins/gitiles/components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-cmf-raspberrypi/+/refs/heads/rdk-next/recipes-core/images/

Generic Image

To build the image with the default compositor.

Choose hybrid machine configuration to build the image with default compositor

MACHINE=raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment

bitbake rdk-generic-hybrid-wpe-image

Choose the hybrid westeros machine configuration to build the image with westeros compositor

Image with Westeros compositor

MACHINE=raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid-westeros source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment

bitbake rdk-generic-hybrid-westeros-wpe-image

Note: Westeros is the default compositor, so both images behave in the same way

TDK Image

MACHINE=raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment

bitbake rdk-generic-hybrid-wpe-tdk-image

Note: The Kernel image and root filesystem will be created under build-raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid/tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid folder

Development Branch

To build the image from the development branch, the respective sprint month's development branch to be chosen and follow the below build procedure

For example to take development branch of September 2020, the rdk-dev-2009 branch to be used

mkdir workspace
cd workspace

# initialize the repo either ASP or non-ASP
# for Non-ASP
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-dev-2009 -m rdkv-extsrc.xml

#for ASP
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-dev-2009 -m rdkv-asp-extsrc.xml

repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags
