  • Patches:

    • Separate patch files for the open-source OE layers are no longer maintained. Instead, mirrors of the OE layers used by RDK are maintained at CMF, containing rdk branches that contain the patches already applied. The RDK build scripts and recipes now all use these instead of the previous patches.

  • Community contributions:

    • A detailed changelog since the last release rdkv-2018q1 can be found here.


Build System

  • Reference platform build testing performed with podManager enabled.
  • 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 size

Root Filesystem image size data for the XG1v3 and XI3v2 platforms can be found here.


Getting the code

Note: The manifests repository is only available to RDK licensees.

$ mkdir rdkv
$ cd rdkv
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkv.xml -b rdkv-2018q2
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
  • The -m rdkv.xml in the build sequence above is important. If this is not specified, you will get an RDK-V tree by default.
  • The -b rdkv-2018q2 in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use.
  • If you omit the -b rdkv-2018q2 entirely, you will get the master (HEAD) of each component.
  • At any time, the community can build latest master by dropping the -b rdkv-2018q2 option in the repo init command.


Building for the emulator

$ source meta-cmf/setup-environment

Select the option number for the required build (Hybrid: qemux86hyb; Media Client: qemux86mc).

Initiate the build using either of the following commands, depending on the desired device:

$ bitbake rdk-generic-hybrid-image or
$ bitbake rdk-generic-mediaclient-image

Upon a successful build, the rootfs (in vmdk format) is available at:

$ {HOME}/emulator/build-qemux86hyb/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86hyb or
$ {HOME}/emulator/build-qemux86mc/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86mc


Building for RaspberryPi MediaClient

$ mkdir <workspace dir>
$ cd <workspace dir>
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkv.xml -b rdkv-2018q2-rpi
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
$ source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment

Select option raspberrypi-rdk-mc.conf

$ bitbake rdk-generic-mediaclient-westeros-wpe-image

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


Building for RaspberryPi Hybrid

$ mkdir <workspace dir>
$ cd <workspace dir>
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkv.xml -b rdkv-2018q2-rpi
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
$ source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment

Select option raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid.conf

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

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