The Comcast RDK is a complex Linux software stack powering millions of set-top-boxes. In 2013 the project faced scalability issues with their home grown Linux environment which impacted internal teams and ecosystem partners.

The team engaged with Linaro to migrate the RDK into a Yocto Project based Linux distribution. The revamped RDK has been released into millions of homes throughout the world with many multi-services operators. It started with video devices but layered design has scaled beyond video devices into broadband, cameras, and other IOT devices making an infrastructure for RDK based Home OS.

Khem and Nicolas will discuss about how such a significant engineering effort was executed. They will discuss the social and technical challenges and how the Yocto Project increased the overall quality of the RDK. And also the cautions and rail-guards needed when scale hits the project.
