WIP

Scope

Goal is to provide RDK-B Easymesh Agent reference profile for RDK-B community

Prerequisite

OEM Device or SoC reference device should boot with Kernel & all required drivers should load & we should be in a position to login to shell

How does it serve community

This will be a core reference profile for SoC and OEM's to develop AP agent profile on base SDK
This will help OEM's/SoC's to identify list of components required
This will help OEM/SoC companies to prepare MVP for their ISP's (RDK Team will share test cases)

What is the chipset RDK used for developing AP profile
