$ mkdir rdkb
$ cd rdkb
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb.xml -b rdkb-20170116
$ 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-20170116 in the build sequence above specifies the branch to use. If you omit the -b rdkb-20170116 entirely, you will get the master (HEAD) of each component.
At any time, the community can build latest master by dropping the -b rdkb-20170116 option in the repo init command.
We have verified that this iteration boots to a login prompt and that you can log in, and that you can connect with a web browser to the web admin page, but that is the extent of the testing at this time.
