Production-Grade RDK-B Training for Broadband Professionals Worldwide
RDK-B is the open-source broadband gateway software platform deployed in 80+ million homes by Comcast, Liberty Global, Sky, and Charter Communications. This 3-week intensive program is built around real production experience — giving you the CCSP architecture mastery, device management protocol expertise, and HAL development skills that broadband employers demand globally. Every topic is reinforced with hands-on labs on actual gateway hardware, not simulators.
RDK-B Platform & CCSP
Understand the complete RDK-B software stack — the CCSP component model, D-Bus message bus, TR-181 data model, and inter-process communication patterns used in every production deployment at Comcast and Liberty Global.
Device Management Protocols
Master the cloud-side management interfaces: TR-069 (CWMP) for ACS provisioning, WebPA via Parodus for real-time cloud connectivity, remote firmware upgrades, and SNMP-based device monitoring in carrier production environments.
HAL Development & Porting
Design and implement Hardware Abstraction Layers for real broadband gateway SoCs. Configure WiFi HAL for multi-SSID and band steering, write Platform and Ethernet HALs, and port RDK-B to new chipsets using the Yocto build system.
What Makes This Bootcamp Different
RDK-B expertise cannot be learned from generic tutorials — it comes from engineers who have built and deployed the platform in production at scale. This bootcamp delivers exactly that.
Industry-Expert Instructors
Trainers with 10+ years of hands-on experience at Comcast, Liberty Global, and Sky. Real production RDK-B knowledge, not textbook theory. They have shipped the platform to millions of homes.
Real Gateway Hardware Labs
All hands-on labs run on actual broadband gateway devices — no simulated environments for hardware exercises. You configure real WiFi, firewall, and HAL layers on production-grade CPE hardware.
Structured 3-Week Format
Designed for engineers who want depth with efficiency. Three focused weeks of progressive, phase-by-phase instruction take you from Linux & Networking fundamentals through advanced RDK-B development — Mon–Fri live sessions, 1.5 hrs/day, building real job-ready expertise at every step.
International Online Delivery
Live sessions in time zones suited for USA/Canada (EST/PST), Europe (CET/GMT), and India (IST). Join from anywhere in the world with the same real-time instruction and lab access.
Small Batch (Max 15 Engineers)
Strictly limited seats guarantee personal attention, live Q&A time, and one-on-one mentor access for every engineer. No overcrowded courses where questions go unanswered.
100% Placement Support
Direct referrals to Comcast, Liberty Global, Vodafone, Sky, Charter, and CPE OEM partners globally. Includes resume review, portfolio guidance, and mock technical interviews for RDK-B roles.
Technologies You Will Work With Hands-On
Every tool in this list is used in live lab sessions during the bootcamp — not just mentioned in slides. You leave with real, demonstrable proficiency in each.
High-Demand RDK-B Roles Across the Globe
RDK-B developers are among the most sought-after broadband technology professionals worldwide. Service providers, OEMs, and silicon vendors actively recruit certified engineers. Experienced RDK-B engineers earn ₹18–40 LPA in India and $100K–160K in global markets.

3-Week Curriculum — 6 Phases, 15 Modules
A structured 3-week journey from Linux & Networking foundations through RDK-B core architecture, broadband feature development, device integration, debugging, and advanced expert-level topics — each phase reinforced with hands-on lab projects on real gateway hardware. Live sessions run Mon–Fri, 1.5 hrs/day (IST: 7:00–8:00 AM | 8:00–9:30 PM | 10:00–11:30 PM).
Prerequisites
- Basic Linux (command line, processes, filesystem)
- Basic Networking (IP, TCP/UDP, DNS, DHCP)
- C or Python programming fundamentals
- Yocto basics (layers, recipes, BitBake)
- Embedded systems exposure
- Build system awareness
- Prior RDK knowledge
Build the essential Linux and networking foundation that every RDK-B developer depends on daily — process management, filesystems, IP stack, and packet-level analysis.
- Linux architecture: kernel vs. user space, file system hierarchy (
/proc,/sys,/etc,/var) - Process lifecycle & scheduling, memory management basics, permissions & ownership
- Key commands:
ps,top,htop,kill,nice,df,du,mount,lsblk,grep,awk,sed,netstat,ss,tcpdump
- OSI & TCP/IP models, IPv4/IPv6, subnetting (critical for gateway work), DHCP/DNS/NAT, routing basics
- TCP vs. UDP, HTTP/HTTPS, ICMP — understanding the protocols RDK-B manages
Master cross-compilation, embedded Linux concepts, and the Yocto build system — the toolset every RDK-B engineer uses to build, customise, and deploy gateway firmware.
- Cross-compilation & toolchains, root filesystem structure, bootloaders (U-Boot)
- Poky architecture, layers (
meta-*), recipes (.bb/.bbappend), BitBake workflow - Key commands:
bitbake -k rdkb-image,bitbake -c cleanall <recipe>
Deep-dive into the RDK-B software architecture — CCSP, RBus, PAM, PSM, and the TR-181 data model that underpin every gateway feature.
- Introduction to RDK, RDK-B vs. RDK-V vs. RDK-C, system architecture overview
- CCSP (Common Component Software Platform): component lifecycle, registration, and health monitoring
- RBus / D-Bus IPC, PAM, CR (Component Registrar), PSM (Persistent Storage Manager)
- TR-181 data model: parameter hierarchy, objects, getters/setters, and notification events
Configure and extend the core broadband services: network stack, WiFi subsystem, and TR-069/WebPA remote management protocols.
- LAN/WAN architecture, DHCP server/client, NAT & firewall (iptables), bridge vs. router modes
- VLANs, IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack, QoS, packet flow through the gateway
- WiFi architecture, hostapd integration, WPA2/WPA3, EasyMesh basics, SSID configuration
- TR-069 protocol (CWMP), WebPA / Parodus, ACS communication, remote provisioning flows
Understand how RDK-B integrates with real hardware through BSP, HAL APIs, the boot sequence, and firmware imaging on Raspberry Pi 4.
- Board Support Package, HAL APIs, interfacing with kernel drivers, vendor-specific implementations
- Bootloader → Kernel → RootFS, init systems (systemd / SysV), early boot analysis
- Image flashing, OTA firmware updates, rollback mechanisms and recovery strategies
Master the debugging toolchain used in production RDK-B environments, optimise system performance, and write custom RDK-B services.
- Logs (
/rdklogs/),gdb/strace/ltrace, core dumps,logread,dmesg,tcpdump - Memory & performance tools, crash analysis, live process inspection
