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 manifest with repo tool
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 manifest with repo tool
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-next -m rdkv-extsrc.xml
repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags

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 manifest with repo tool
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-dev-2009 -m rdkv-nosrc.xml
repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags |

The Kernel image and root file-system collectively created as an image and it will be available under build-<MACHINE>/tmp/deploy/images/<MACHINE> folder. |
Flashing Procedure
The image file will be generated under build-<MACHINE>/tmp/deploy/images/<MACHINE> directory
# Insert the micro SD card and mention the card's device file name
# input file (if) is the image file to flash and the output file (of) is the card's device file name
