• Community contributions: 
  • Please refer to the changelog since the last iteration (RDK-B_20170508) here (Gerrit).
  • 9484 (RDKBCMF-73) Add foreign option to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in configure.ac

  • 9460 (RDKBCMF-73) Restore hal ARM code after hal refactoring
  • 9360 RPI-22: [WIFI] Setting the security mode as WPAWPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) is making the WIFI client to connect to the SSID with the Authentication Mode as "WPA-Personal" instead of "WPA2-Personal".

Getting the code

$ mkdir rdkb
$ cd rdkb
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-20170523
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle

• The -m rdkb.xml in the build sequence above is important. If this is not specified, you will get an RDK-V tree by default.
• The -b rdkb-20170523 in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use. If you omit the -b rdkb-20170523 entirely, you will get the master (HEAD) of each component.
• At any time, the community can build latest master by dropping the -b rdkb-20170523 option in the repo init command.
• We have verified that this iteration boots to a login prompt and that you can log in, and that you can connect with a web browser to the web admin page.

Building the emulator

$ source meta-cmf-rdkb-bsp-emulator/setup-environment (select qemux86broadband)
$ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image

The image path will be: build-qemux86broadband/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86broadband/rdk-generic-broadband-image-qemux86broadband.vmdk

To build TDK, follow the steps as for a normal build, above, but use the following bitbake command:

$ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-tdk-image

The image path will be: build-qemux86broadband/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86broadband/rdk-generic-broadband-tdk-image-qemux86broadband.vmdk

TDK for RDK-B documentation is available: https://wiki.rdkcentral.com//display/TDK/TDK+Release+M47

Running the emulator

1. Start VirtualBox.
2. Click New -> Enter name -> Select type Linux -> Select version Other Linux (32 bit) -> Click Next
3. Select Memory size - 512MB -> Click Next
4. Select option Use an existing virtual hard drive -> Select the built image above -> Click Create
5. Once the VM has been created, select the new image and click Settings -> Network -> Select Attached to: 'Bridged Adapter' -> Click Ok
6. Click Start.This will bring up the emulator with the initial splash screen

Building for RaspberryPi

$ mkdir <workspace dir>
$ cd <workspace dir>
$ repo init –u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml –b rdkb-20170523-rpi
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
$ source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment

Select option raspberrypi-rdk-broadband.conf

$ bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image

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

Documentation for RDK-B for RaspberryPi is available here: https://rdkwiki.com/rdk/display/DEVTOOLS/RDK+Broadband+%28RaspberryPi%29+-Krogoth

Running on the RaspberryPi

Known Issues

• TCL tests not run for RPI or Emulator, TCL scripts and script execution will be resumed once the scripts are stabilized
• Major Regression in RPI Test results, this is being tracked in RPI-26
• RDKBEMU-436 - PAM Randomly the advance config scripts is causing the PAM process to crash or go to a deadlock state
  • Some of the advanced config scripts are causing the PAM process to deadlock or crash. A reboot is required to recover, this issue caused a regression in a number of tests.
• TDKB-29 - TS_SNMP_Get2.4SSIDWithDisabledXfinityWifi is causing the other SNMP scripts to fail. This test case is skipped in Emulator.
• TDK-341 - RDK-B Emulator TS_PAM_IpIfMaxMTUSize fails on CMF image
  • RDKBEMU-406 raised on emulator
• TDK-342 - RDK-B Emulator SNMP Tests - No Such Instance currently exists at this OID
  • TS_SNMP_Get2.4SSIDWithDisabledXfinityWifi tests fails in automated run but passes in manual run under investigation
• TDK-344 - RDK-B Emulator TS_TAD traceroute test failures on CMF image
  • TS_TAD_Traceroute test fail in CMF evironement due to some security restrictions with test setup
• TDK-348 - TDK-B RPI RDK Logger Tests Failiing
• Wifi Emulator test failures under investigation.
• RPI-26 -Latest RPI image is unstable and not listing any of the TR-181 parameters of the CCSP components except LMlite and TR069. Throws "Can't find destination component." error
• RPI-7 - Randomly observing boot up issue in RaspberryPI broadband
• RPI-21 - DNS Client Allows to set value for Device.DNS.Client.Server.1.DNSServer even if the Device.DNS.Client.Server.1.Type is not Static
