•  What is RDKB ?•  Unique Features•  Why Use RDKB ?•  Component based Architecture.•  Components•  High Level Architecture•  Getting Access•  QA

AGENDA

•  RDKB – Broadband profile for RDK•  Shared BSP infrastructure with RDK Video•  Shared logging, crash reporting, system management•  Over 2 million devices deployed

INTRODUCTION

•  DOCSIS 3.0•  eMTA•  Private Wi-Fi •  Public Wi-FI•  MoCa 2.0•  eMTA•  Local Admin Pages•  MoCA extender support•  Bridge Mode support •  IPv6•  Cloud Gateway support (VRG)•  HNAP protocol support for Home Security•  2.4/5G Band support•  Provisioning•  WPS•  SNMP•  TR-69

RDKB FEATURES

•  Http Code Download•  Xconf support for finer control of code download•  WebPA Support•  RDK Logs•  RDK Metrics•  Video over Wi-Fi •  Wi-Fi-MoCA bridge for Video•  IP table for packet tracking•  Support for Cloud Admin•  Forced Wi-Fi personalization•  Connect/Disconnect Notification •  RSSI Reporting•  Self Healing

RDKB UNIQUE FEATURES

•  Zigbee HA 1.2 Hub•  Thread•  Bluetooth LE•  Device System Bridge to connect Zigbee/Thread/BLE •  Alljoyn/OIC Connectors•  IoT Cloud Adapter for Cloud Connectivity•  Local Rules Engine•  Easy Onboarding of devices

IOT FEATURES

•  High Software Velocity–  Architecture supports plug-in component modules – all using Linux D-Bus–  Teams can create components in parallel–  Leverages open source within Architecture Framework and within components

•  Supports multiple management protocols and data models–  TR-069 with TR-181, WEBPA with TR-181, SNMP, CLI via UART/SSH, easily extensible

•  Support single and multi-core CPU architectures•  No component level code change needed to repartition software

–  D-Bus extends common architecture across CPUs•  Easily portable to support multiple SoC vendors

–  Supported through component level abstraction layers–  Leverages the ability to repartition across single core, multi-core and multi-CPU

•  Supports IOT–  AllJoin–  Iotivity (Part of OE/Yocto supported layer, can be pulled in on demand)–  Thread

•  Integrated logging infrastructure with head-end

ADVANTAGES OF RDKB

•  WEB-PA–  Complete solution for

•  Device Manageability•  Control•  Understands TR-181 model•  Head-end component available for adoption

–  Is available as opensource contribution.•  Built on Yocto Project/OpenEmbedded Build infrastructure

–  Vast set of packages available–  Support wide range of SOCs out of box

•  RDKB Emulator implementations as reference on Yocto/OE available•  Licensed under RDKM Apache license.•  Value addons from other infrastructures available

–  E.g. OpenWRT packages•  Clean separation between modem, voice and data

ADVANTAGES OF RDKB

COMPONENT BASED ARCHITECTURE

•  Standard message primitives used for all components•  Messages are passed over D-Bus IPC mechanism•  Adding new services doesn’t change APIs ( Run Time APIs )

–  only adds new parameters
