Getting the code

Note:

• The manifests repository is only available to RDK licensees.
• Opensource versions of the RDKB manifests are available from the rdkcmf/manifests repository rdkb-2023q4-dunfell branch 

mkdir <workspace dir>
cd <workspace dir>

repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests -m <manifest.xml> -b rdkb-2023q4-dunfell  
repo sync --no-clone-bundle --no-tags  

• The -m <manifest.xml> in the sequence above is important. If this is not specified, you will get an RDK-V tree by default.

  • For RPI builds use manifest: rdkb.xml

    repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/rdkcmf/manifests -m rdkb-extsrc.xml -b rdkb-2023q4-dunfell

• The -b rdkb-2023q4-dunfell in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use.
• If you omit the -b rdkb-2023q4-dunfell entirely, you will get the HEAD of each component
