  • The -m <manifest.xml> in the sequence above is important.

    • For BPI builds use manifest: rdkb-bpi-extsrc.xml

      repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests -m rdkb-bpi-extsrc.xml -b rdkb-2025q4-kirkstone
  • The -b rdkb-2025q4-kirkstone in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use.
  • If you omit the -b rdkb-2025q4-kirkstone entirely, you will get the HEAD of each component

Sanity Testing

Automated RPI Sanity tests include:

  • Services checks (OneWifi, ccsp processes)
  • Network (WAN) connectivity 
  • LAN client
  • Wifi 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz hotspot testing.
  • Login, menu navigation, parameter modification, e.g. Wifi SSID/password change and re-connection, changing admin password.

Known Issues


RDKBACCL-1066 - Getting issue details... STATUS  

 
 BPI Stability Issues:

  1. Depending on your setup environment, you may face interference issues (e.g. in a lab with a lot of WiFi devices). If you encounter such issues we recommend to use a WiFi chamber. A simple desktop setup should not encounter such issues.
  2. The Fan unit needs to be setup correctly to avoid overheating.  After connecting the powersupply (white jack) to the fan ensure the jack makes proper contact with the pin, see RDK-B Banana Pi R4 Setup and Flashing Instructions.
  3. WiFi 6GHz does not work with all 6GHz capable STAs/clients, we recommend to use an Apple iphone-16 pro as of now if you wish to use Wifi 6GHz.
