Overview
RDK-8 is based on RDK-E layered architecture where layers can be independently built, tested and delivered.
The different layers in RDK8 are Vendor, Middleware and Image Assembler.
Each layer can be built separately to provide versioned binaries.
In RDK8 there are some key differences to RDK 7
- There is no separate OSS layer
- Instead the OSS Consumption Model is used where open source packages are built as part of the vendor and middleware layers.
- There is no separate Application layer
- All applications are now BOLT DAC applications and are built and signed separately to the RDK yocto build.
- RDKShell is no longer used for Application management functionalities instead the RDK AppManagers framework is used.
- Each layer can be built separately to provide versioned binaries. Each of these layers contain components necessary to build that layer.
For more information on the RDK 8 architecture please see <TODO>
Image Assembler serves as the final build which consumes the binary deliverables in form of IPK's from the vendor and middleware layers.
