Category: Shared Tools
What This Project Implements
Common Tools are shared helper repositories (scripts, example configurations and build utilities) that support several Reference Tools rather than implementing a specification of their own. You normally arrive here from a specific tool's own setup steps, not by starting here — each entry below names the project it supports; refer to that project's own Implementation Detail page for more context.
All of the tools below live in a single repository, rt-common-shared, grouped by subdirectory.
5G Media Streaming (5GMS): rt-common-shared/5gms
Includes example configurations and common scripts for the 5GMS (rt-5gms-*) Reference Tools.
In particular, the 5G_APIs-overrides directory contains files that can be used with the open5gs-tools/scripts/generate_openapi script to override or supplement the OpenAPI YAML files from the 5G_APIs repository. OpenAPI is a standard, machine-readable format for describing REST APIs, from which client and server code can be generated.
Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) and LTE-based 5G Broadcast: rt-common-shared/mbms
Includes example configurations for the LTE-based 5G Broadcast (rt-mbms-*) Reference Tools.
In particular, it includes information about the ServiceAnnouncement(SA) file, also referred to as bootstrap.multipart in the context of Reference Tools. The Service Announcement file is the entry document a receiver reads first to discover which broadcast services are available and how to acquire them.
Simple Express Server: rt-common-shared/simple-express-server
Includes a simple HTTP server based on express.js that can be used to statically host files for streaming.
Open5GS Tools: rt-common-shared/open5gs-tools
Includes scripts related to the OpenAPI generator.
Data Reporting 5G_APIs overrides: rt-common-shared/data-reporting/5G_APIs-overrides
Includes modified versions of the OpenAPI YAML files from the 5G_APIs repository specific to Data Reporting for use with a Data Collection Application Function.
Avcodec build: rt-common-shared/avcodec-build
Includes a helper script to build ffmpeg libraries for Android.

- Standards: none. Common Tools is a shared toolkit of helper scripts and configurations supporting other Reference Tools projects; it does not implement a specification of its own.
