Building Cobalt DAC app

Use build target dac-image-cobalt. By default cobalt evergreen is not enabled and libcobalt will be built and linked with cobalt-launcher. To enable cobalt evergreen lite make sure cobalt_enable_evergreen_lite DISTRO_FEATURE is set. See conf/layer.conf. In that case libloader-app will be built and linked to cobalt-launcher.

However, currently this does not work on RPI target hosts: cobalt DAC app built with evergreen enabled, crashes on RPI. See comments in libcobalt_23.lts.stable.bbappend.

Building Cobalt 2024 DAC app

By default version 23 is built. Edit conf/layer.conf and uncomment this line to build version 24 instead:

DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " cobalt-24 gstreamer1_18 dunfell"

Building Netflix DAC app

Netflix DAC app needs several things in order to build:

• netflix source tarball
• meta-rdk-netflix repo
• playready headers recipe can be copied from here: https://github.com/stagingrdkm/meta-dac-sdk/blob/master/recipes-core/playready-headers/playready-headers_4.2.bb
• playready headers from officially licensed playeady SDK. Howto get the playready-sdk.zip?
  • install your licensed playready SDK on your PC
  • zip the installed Device_PK_xxxx dir. Update/check the values for PV and ZIP_SUBDIR in meta-dac-sdk/recipes-core/playready-headers/playready-headers_4.2.bb

To actually run the netflix DAC app, it also requires a correct netflix vault file on the host under /opt/netflix-binfile.bin.

Extra setup steps:

git clone "https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/apps/netflix/rdk-oe/meta-rdk-netflix"
mkdir -p build/downloads
cp ~/from_somewhere/nrd-5.3.1-27d5e9003f.tar.gz build/downloads/nrd-5.3.1-27d5e9003f.tar.gz
touch build/downloads/nrd-5.3.1-27d5e9003f.tar.gz.done
cp ~/from_somewhere/playready-sdk.zip build/downloads/
echo 'BBLAYERS += " ${TOPDIR}/../meta-rdk-netflix"' >> build/conf/bblayers.conf

Build:

bitbake dac-image-netflix

Building AmazonPrime5 DAC app

AmazonPrime DAC app needs several things in order to build:

• AmazonPrime5 source tarball
• meta-rdk-amazon repo

Extra setup steps:

    git clone "https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/apps/amazon/rdk-oe/meta-rdk-amazon"
    mkdir -p build/downloads
    cp ~/from_somewhere/avpk-v5.tgz build/downloads/avpk-v5.tgz
    touch build/downloads/avpk-v5.tgz.done
    echo 'BBLAYERS += " ${TOPDIR}/../meta-rdk-amazon"' >> build/conf/bblayers.conf
    sed -i '/BBMASK.*amazon-prime-src_5.0.bb/d' meta-rdk-amazon/conf/layer.conf

Build:

    bitbake dac-image-amazonprime5

Generating DAC bundles

Optionally, you can enable DAC bundle generation for a specific target platform. It will use BundleGen, skopeo and umoci to do this. More info on BundleGen can be found here: https://github.com/rdkcentral/BundleGen . These tools don't need to be installed separately. They are built within the Yocto environment.

You can enable bundle generation by adding BUNDLE_GENERATE = "1" to conf/local.conf. By default it will generate a tarball bundle for RPI3 reference image. The bundles are output in the ./bundles/ directory together with a test script to easily upload and run it on the target.

Other options are these:

• BUNDLE_PLATFORM: use a different target platform. Defaults to "rpi3_reference_vc4_dunfell"
• BUNDLE_OPTIONS: extra commandline options for BundleGen. Defaults to "-m normal --createmountpoints"
• BUNDLE_TEMPLATE_PATH: path where to find the template files for your target. You could set it to "${TOPDIR}/templates" and put your templates in there. Example templates: https://github.com/rdkcentral/BundleGen/tree/master/templates
