Known Issues

Emulators:

Emulator test lists for this iteration were based on M50 TDK results as the M51 results did not contains E2E or streaming tests
~~TDK-346~~ RDK-V CMF Emulators xcal-device service and xdiscovery not running
- Causes most XUPNP tests to fail, issue (which is a work around procedure) is marked as resolved but the underlying issue won't be addressed until dependency on POD manager issue is removed
- The output.json file created by this service is required for a number of the E2E tests, we have worked around this by creating the /opt/output.json file on hybrid and media client as follows:
```
{"playbackUrl": "http://<hybrid IP>:8080/hnStreamStart?deviceId=<hybrid mac address>&DTCP1HOST=<hybrid IP>&DTCP1PORT=5000"}
e.g. {"playbackUrl": "http://192.168.21.234:8080/hnStreamStart?deviceId=08:bb:83:b3:b3:07&DTCP1HOST=192.168.21.234&DTCP1PORT=5000"}
```
TDK-354 RDKV Emulator Testing Script Time Outs
- We are observing inconsistency in some of the E2E tests results, i.e. tests may sometimes pass and sometimes fail with a SCRIPT TIMEOUT error
TDK-292 RDKV Emulator-HYB recorder failures
- requires DVR Simulator (refer to TDK-277)
TDK-379 RDKV Emulator CC_Initialization.... ERROR : Unable to find "result" in response message
TDK-380 RDKV Emulator "No such file or directory:" retrieving recordDetails.txt
TDK-381 RDKV Emulator RMF_HNSrc_MPSink GetMediaTime() Failures

Platforms:

Reference platform builds still have a dependency on podManager
- RDK-283 Absence of POD in CMF image blocks RMF system level functionality
- xcal device service doesn't start, so /opt/output.json file required by E2E tests not created we have worked around this by creating the tmp/ip_acquired file, with this workaround we can run TDK E2E tests
TDK-277 Testing of Recorder component will remain blocked until DVR Simulator code is available
TDK-276 Subset of Recorder tests still consistently failing for CMF
TDK-387 RDKV Platform XG1V3 XUPNP Event not received by xcal-device process
TDK-388 RDKV Platform XG1V3 RMF MPSink Set Volume Errors
TDK-389 RDKV Platform E2E Tests Failures "HNSource play failed current state not playing"

Build System

All builds (emulator and reference platforms) now use rdk-oe (Yocto).
The old build_framework system is no longer supported.
rdk/components/generic/injectedbundle cannot be built by the community because of a dependency on AVE.
Root Filesystem uncompressed image sizes:
- XG1v3 199040 (KiB)
- XI3v2 192200 (KiB)

Building for RaspberryPi Hybrid

$ mkdir <workspace dir>
$ cd <workspace dir>
$ repo init –u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkv.xml –b rdkv-20170925-rpi
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
$ source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment

Select option raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid.conf

$ bitbake rdk-generic-hybrid-wpe-image

Note. The kernel Image and root filesystem will be created under the ./tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid folder

Building for RaspberryPi Mediaclient

$ mkdir <workspace dir>
$ cd <workspace dir>
$ repo init –u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkv.xml –b rdkv-20170925-rpi
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
$ source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment

Select option raspberrypi-rdk-mc.conf

$ bitbake rdk-generic-mediaclient-wpe-image

Note. The kernel Image and root filesystem will be created under the ./tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi-rdk-mc folder

Media Gateway Hybrid (RaspberryPi)-2.1-krogoth

Media Client (RaspberryPi)-2.1-Krogoth

RaspberryPi Sanity Testing

Some basic sanity tests were performed on the Hybrid and Client images, playing video locally via gst-play and also using WPELauncher.

In addition streaming tests were performed using rmfApp.
