What is GDP Master?
The GDP Master is essentially a rolling release that holds the layers, recipes, and source code to build the GENIVI Development Platform. It is the "latest and greatest" software that is the basis for the versioned releases happening twice a year. These versioned releases are supported from the date of release to following release. The "Master" rolling release is largely unstable and used for development work. It is designed for;
Developers who want to contribute to the development of automotive software components.
Developers who want to contribute to the GDP project itself.
Master policies can be summarized in three points:
There is only one working repository, that is Master. (Think of it as a 'head' on a git repo.)
Everything goes to Master first.
Only branches from Master are allowed. Branches are for testing, stabilization, release, maintenance, not for development.
To know more about Master maintenance please visit GDP Management wiki page.
The next planned release is GDP 12 and everything merged in Master will appear in GDP 12.
Master structure
The GENIVI GitHub account contains two code repositories relating to GDP:Branches: a branch is created in the top level of each repository for each release (and pre-release). Branches relating to a pre-release are removed when the next phase of that release is issued. All changes are pushed to master and not the branches.
- genivi-dev-platform which contains the top level code for GDP.
- meta-genivi-dev a git submodule of genivi-dev-platform supporting cross-architecture application development.
Generic Preparation
For all targets, the build needs the following preparation.
- Install the required development tools on the host by executing the following command (or equivalent on your distro. More information in Yocto Docs)
$ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat libsdl1.2-dev xterm
- Clone genivi demo platform
$ git clone https://github.com/GENIVI/genivi-dev-platform.git
$ cd genivi-dev-platform
Now execute per-target instructions below and then come back here:
After executing bitbake of the image successfully, try your image.
You can connect with SSH. You may need to figure out the IP address assigned via DHCP by using your network router, or scanning, etc.
- You can also usually connect with a serial link (see hardware specific instructions).
- Remember that the initial user / password is root / root

What will I find in Master?
GDP components are described in GDP in Detail wiki page.
Requests
Requests for the next GDP version, should be listed in GDP-154 - GDP Master requests TO DO . The requests will be processed and added first to GDP Master and then, according to the GDP policy, to the next release.
