This is the summary page that describes CMF quarterly release rdkb-2021q2, based on the new branch rdk-next and yocto project version morty. Below are links to the relevant documents.

Note: The master branch has been deprecated in select community repositories and rdk-next is now the lead development branch.

Note: The latest rdkb quarterly release addresses licensing issues so users are advised to move to the latest iteration.

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Separate patch files for the open-source OE layers are no longer maintained.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.

Getting the code

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

mkdir <workspace dir>

cd <workspace dir>

repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-2021q2

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-2021q2 in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use.
If you omit the -b rdkb-2021q2 entirely, you will get the HEAD of each component

Building the code

Building for RaspberryPi

mkdir <workspace dir>

cd <workspace dir>

repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-2021q2

repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle

source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment

# Select option raspberrypi-rdk-broadband.conf
bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-image 

# To build TDK image 
bitbake rdk-generic-broadband-tdk-image

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