Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for bringing up RDK using a Raspberry Pi as the target device.<\/span><\/span> The document covers the necessary hardware & build setup, build instructions<\/span><\/span>, and detailed flashing instructions to get your Raspberry Pi ready to run the RDK software.<\/span><\/p>\n The RDK port for Raspberry Pi makes the RDK software stack available on a popular hardware device. Raspberry Pi (RPI) for RDK-V supports <\/span>Dunfell<\/span> builds. <\/span>A variety of<\/span> images based on requirements can be built<\/span> for RPI, <\/span>such<\/span> as <\/span>Media Client<\/span>, <\/span>Media Gateway Hybrid<\/span>, and <\/span>IP Client STB<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The instructions provided below are meant to be executed via the command line on an Ubuntu machine.<\/span><\/p>\n Select “No”.<\/span> Upgrade your Git version to 1.8.x or higher.<\/span><\/p>\n Once git is installed, configure your name and email using the below commands.<\/span><\/p>\n In order to use Yocto build system, first you need to make sure that repo is properly installed on the machine:<\/span><\/p>\n *Note<\/strong>: it is also recommended to put credentials in .netrc when interacting with the repo. For more details on how to setup .netrc credentials, please refer this page<\/a> .<\/span><\/p>\n A sample .netrc file is illustrated below.<\/p>\n

Build Requirements: <\/span>Setting up the Host Environment<\/h3>\n
\n
Git- 1.8.3.1 or greater\nPython- 3.8.10\ntar- 1.24 or greater<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Install the following packages for setting up your host VM before building an image<\/span><\/h5>\n
# essential package installation\n# super user mode is required\n\n# major essential packages\nsudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib g++-multilib build-essential chrpath socat bison curl cpio python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping python3-git python3-jinja2 libegl1-mesa libsdl1.2-dev pylint3 xterm<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Configure bash as default command interpreter for shell scripts<\/span><\/h5>\n
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
To choose bash, when the prompt asks if you want to use dash as the default system shell – select “No”.<\/span><\/p>\nConfigure Git<\/span><\/h5>\n
# review your existing configuration\ngit config --list --show-origin\n\n# configure user name and email address\ngit config --global user.name \"John Doe\"\ngit config --global user.email johndoe@example.com\n\n# configure git cookies. Needed for Gerrit to only contact the LDAP backend once.\ngit config --global http.cookieFile \/tmp\/gitcookie.txt\ngit config --global http.saveCookies true<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Configure repo<\/span><\/h5>\n
