Yocto Build Setup
All RPi based RDK images with the latest features are from the rdk-next branch
Initializing the Build Environment
To build RDK images from rdk-next branch, follow the below build procedure
mkdir workspace cd workspace # initialize the manifest with repo tool repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-next -m rdkv-nosrc.xml repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags
mkdir workspace cd workspace # initialize the manifest with repo tool repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-next -m rdkv-extsrc.xml repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags
To build the image from the development branch, the respective sprint month’s development branch to be chosen and follow the below build procedure
For example, to take the development branch of September 2020, the rdk-dev-2009 branch to be used
mkdir workspace cd workspace # initialize the manifest with repo tool repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-dev-2009 -m rdkv-nosrc.xml repo sync -j `nproc` --no-clone-bundle --no-tags
Image build
Link to check possible RDK images on RPi – https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/plugins/gitiles/components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-cmf-raspberrypi/+/refs/heads/rdk-next/recipes-core/images/
MACHINE=raspberrypi-rdk-mc source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment # both rdk-generic-mediaclient-image and rdk-generic-mediaclient-wpe-image are same now bitbake rdk-generic-mediaclient-image
MACHINE=raspberrypi-rdk-mc source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment bitbake rdk-generic-mediaclient-wpe-tdk-image
MACHINE=raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment #both rdk-generic-hybrid-image and rdk-generic-hybrid-wpe-image are same now bitbake rdk-generic-hybrid-image
MACHINE=raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment bitbake rdk-generic-hybrid-wpe-tdk-image
The Kernel image and root file-system collectively created as an image and it will be available under build-<MACHINE>/tmp/deploy/images/<MACHINE>
folder.
Flashing Procedure
The image file will be generated under build-<MACHINE>/tmp/deploy/images/<MACHINE>
directory
# Insert the micro SD card and mention the card's device file name # input file (if) is the image file to flash and the output file (of) is the card's device file name sudo dd if=rdk-generic-hybrid-wpe-image-raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid.rpi-sdimg of=/dev/<sd file> bs=4M
I want to konw if this image file(rdk-generic-mediaclient-image) can operate on Raspberry Pi 4B .

RPI 4 does not have RDK-V (Video) port yet. RPI – 3B and RPI – 3B+ have the RDK-Video port and RPI – 4 has the RDK-B (Broadband) port.
Deepthi Suseelan Is this still the case?
Z-Ben Zmood
Yes it is. Currently RDK Video is not supported for RPI4 platform
So does it support RPI2 platform
RPI2 is not supported, we should use RPI3 or RPI4.
@Yogomaya Maharana
I meet the "Cannot fetch components/generic/closedcaption" issue.
Could you help me solve it?
steps:
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-next -m rdkv-extsrc.xml
$ repo sync -j `nproc` –no-clone-bundle
…
components/generic/closedcaption:
fatal: remote error: access at least one ref not permitted
error: Cannot fetch components/generic/closedcaption from https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/a/components/generic/closedcaption
Thanks,
Ken
