The RDK source code is hosted across multiple repositories, primarily on GitHub, with some active and legacy repositories still maintained on RDKCentral Gerrit. In GitHub, the primary development branch is typically the main branch. For repositories managed in RDKCentral Gerrit, the rdk-next branch generally represents the latest development code. To access stable versions of the source code, users should refer to the appropriate release branches (see the Releases section below).

RDK Broadband follows a quarterly release schedule, while, the RDK Video profile follows a yearly release schedule. Release notes and platform-specific instructions for each release are available on their respective release pages.
