+## Implementation Guidelines
+
+- **Project Goal:** Migrate existing scripts to C code.
+- **Target Platforms:** Multiple embedded platforms with low memory and low CPU resources.
+- **Constraints:** Code must be efficient, lightweight, and platform-neutral to ensure portability across different embedded systems.
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+1. **Setup Development Environment**
+    - Use docker containers for consistent build environments.
+    - Container image that can be used for functional testing - https://github.com/rdkcentral/docker-device-mgt-service-test/pkgs/container/docker-device-mgt-service-test%2Fnative-platform
+
+2. **Code Development**
+    - Translate HLD components into modular C code.
+    - Adhere to coding standards and best practices for embedded systems.
+    - Implement error handling and logging mechanisms.
+    - Optimize for memory usage and performance.
+    - Do not use system calls to best possible extent.
+
+3. **Code Review and Integration**
+    - Conduct peer reviews to ensure code quality and adherence to design.
+    - Integrate modules incrementally and perform integration testing.
+
+4. **Documentation**
+    - Update code comments and API documentation.
+    - Document build and deployment procedures.
+    - Provide examples and usage guidelines.
+    - Maintain a changelog for implementation updates.
+
+5. **Testing**
+    - Develop unit tests for individual modules.
+    - Perform system testing on target hardware or simulators.
+    - Validate against original script functionality and performance criteria.

+## HLD Generation Guidelines
+
+- **Project Goal:** Migrate existing scripts to C code.
+- **Target Platforms:** Multiple embedded platforms with low memory and low CPU resources.
+- **Constraints:** Code must be efficient, lightweight, and platform-neutral to ensure portability across different embedded systems.
+
+## Migration Strategy
+1. **Requirements Gathering**
+    - For scripts selected in context, create a Markdown (`.md`) file documenting:
+        - Functional requirements
+        - Inputs/outputs
+        - Dependencies
+        - Constraints (timing, memory, etc.)
+        - Edge cases and error handling
+
+2. **High Level Design (HLD)**
+    - For each script, create a separate HLD `.md` file including:
+        - Architecture overview
+        - Module/component breakdown
+        - Data flow diagrams or descriptions
+        - Key algorithms and data structures
+        - Interfaces and integration points
+
+3. **Flowchart Creation**
+   - Develop flowcharts to visually represent the script's logic and workflow.
+   - Use `mermaid` syntax for creating flowcharts.
+   - For environments that may have issues with complex Mermaid diagrams, include a simplified text-based flowchart alternative.
+   - For scripts having related functionality, create combined or linked flowcharts to show interactions.
+   - Use standard flowchart symbols for processes, decisions, inputs/outputs, and connectors.
+   - Ensure flowcharts are clear, concise, and accurately reflect the script's functionality.
+   - Include annotations or notes for complex logic or important details.
+   - Store flowcharts in a dedicated directory within the project for easy reference.
+
+4. **Sequence Diagrams**
+   - Create sequence diagrams to illustrate interactions between components or modules.
+   - Use `mermaid` syntax for creating sequence diagrams.
+   - For environments that may have issues with complex Mermaid diagrams, include a simplified text-based sequence diagram alternative.
+   - Ensure diagrams clearly show the order of operations and interactions.
+   - Include annotations for clarity where necessary.
+   
+5. **LLD Preparation**
+   - Prepare a Low-Level Design (LLD) document outlining:
+       - Detailed design specifications
+       - Data structures and algorithms
+       - Pseudocode or code snippets
+       - Interface definitions
+       - Error handling and edge cases
+
+5. **Fine tuning**
+   - Do not create implementation roadmap markdown files.
+   - Do not suggest timelines or planning details for execution.

+Feature: Remote Debugger C API Upload Orchestration
+
+  Scenario: Validate rrd_upload_orchestrate C API with valid parameters
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    And test log files are created in the upload directory
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with valid upload directory and issue type
+    Then the C API should return success code 0
+    And the archive should be created with correct naming format
+    And the archive should contain all log files from the directory
+    And the upload should be triggered successfully
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate with NULL upload directory
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with NULL upload directory
+    Then the C API should return error code 1
+    And error logs should contain "Invalid parameters"
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate with NULL issue type
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    And test log files are created in the upload directory
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with NULL issue type
+    Then the C API should return error code 1
+    And error logs should contain "Invalid parameters"
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate with empty upload directory
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    And the upload directory is empty
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with the empty directory
+    Then the C API should return error code 6
+    And error logs should contain "Invalid or empty upload directory"
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate with non-existent directory
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with non-existent directory
+    Then the C API should return error code 6
+    And error logs should contain "Directory does not exist"
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate configuration loading
+    Given the remote debugger configuration files exist
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with valid parameters
+    Then configuration should be loaded from /etc/include.properties
+    And RFC parameters should be queried via tr181 if available
+    And DCM settings should be parsed from /tmp/DCMSettings.conf
+    And fallback to dcm.properties should work if needed
+    And logs should show final configuration values
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate MAC address retrieval
+    Given the system has a valid MAC address
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with valid parameters
+    Then MAC address should be retrieved successfully
+    And logs should show "MAC address obtained"
+    And archive filename should include the MAC address
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate timestamp generation
+    Given the system time is available
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with valid parameters
+    Then timestamp should be generated in format YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SSAM/PM
+    And logs should show "Timestamp generated"
+    And archive filename should include the timestamp
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate issue type sanitization
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    And test log files are created
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with issue type "test.issue-type"
+    Then issue type should be sanitized to "TEST_ISSUE_TYPE"
+    And logs should show issue type conversion
+    And archive filename should use sanitized issue type
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate archive creation
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    And test log files are created in the upload directory
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with valid parameters
+    Then a tar.gz archive should be created
+    And the archive should be in valid gzip format
+    And the archive should contain POSIX tar headers
+    And all files from upload directory should be in archive
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate upload execution
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    And a test archive is ready for upload
+    And upload server is reachable
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with valid parameters
+    Then upload lock should be checked before upload
+    And upload parameters should be prepared correctly
+    And uploadstblogs_run should be called with rrd_flag=true
+    And logs should show "Upload completed successfully"
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate cleanup after success
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    And successful upload has completed
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with valid parameters
+    Then the archive file should be cleaned up
+    And temporary files should be removed
+    And logs should show "Cleanup complete"
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate cleanup after upload failure
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    And upload will fail
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with valid parameters
+    Then the archive file should still be cleaned up
+    And error code 11 should be returned
+    And logs should show upload failure
+
+  Scenario: Test uploadDebugoutput wrapper function
+    Given the remote debugger is running
+    And test log files are created
+    When I call uploadDebugoutput with valid parameters
+    Then issue name should be normalized (dots to underscores)
+    And rrd_upload_orchestrate should be called
+    And success should be logged for successful upload
+    And failure should be logged for failed upload
+
+  Scenario: Test concurrent upload lock handling
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    And another upload is in progress (lock file exists)
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with valid parameters
+    Then upload lock should be detected
+    And API should wait for lock to clear
+    And upload should proceed after lock clears
+    Or timeout error should be returned if lock persists
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate with LOGUPLOAD_ENABLE issue type
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    And live logs are available
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with issue type "LOGUPLOAD_ENABLE"
+    Then live logs should be handled specially
+    And logs should be prepared for upload
+    And archive should include live log data
+
+  Scenario: Verify rrd_upload_orchestrate logging throughout execution
+    Given the remote debugger is configured with debug logging
+    When I call rrd_upload_orchestrate with valid parameters
+    Then entry and exit logs should be present
+    And each step should log progress
+    And configuration values should be logged
+    And system info should be logged
+    And archive creation should be logged
+    And upload status should be logged
+    And cleanup should be logged
+
+  Scenario: Test rrd_upload_orchestrate error propagation
+    Given the remote debugger is configured
+    When configuration loading fails
+    Then error code 3 should be returned
+    When MAC address retrieval fails
+    Then error code 4 should be returned
+    When timestamp generation fails
+    Then error code 5 should be returned
+    When directory validation fails
+    Then error code 6 should be returned
+    When log preparation fails
+    Then error code 7 should be returned
+    When issue type sanitization fails
+    Then error code 8 should be returned
+    When archive filename generation fails
+    Then error code 9 should be returned
+    When archive creation fails
+    Then error code 10 should be returned
+    When upload execution fails
+    Then error code 11 should be returned
