unable to download the source code of android source code kitkat 4.4.3

[mutyalaraoneela]

HI,

1)To get the Android source code from Google repo, follow the steps below:

$ cd ~

$ mkdir myandroid

$ mkdir bin

$ cd myandroid

$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo

$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

$ ~/bin/repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.4.3_r1

$ ~/bin/repo sync # this command loads most needed repos. Therefore, it can take several

hours to load.

But after giving the final step it took almost of 2 days to download and is not giving any confirmation.

2)Is it necessary to have 12.04 version(64 bit) os?? I am using 12.04 version (32-bit) of ubuntu.

thanks,

Mutyala rao

  In previous  releases of "Android User's Guide" it was clearly stated about 64-bit
OS for host versions. The "Android User's Guide" of "KK4.4.3_2.0.0-ga" - looks like -
missed it (just as a typo).

Have a great day,
Yuri

Hi

Mutyala

Android source code repo sync takes longer time and it depends upon the Internet speed.

During repo sync you can check which branch is syncing.

Hi Sourab patel,

                         Thank you very much for the reply.Repo sync is at camera related branch from 2 days and i am able to see that time left on the screen is about 243 days.Can you please tell me what kind of confirmation it will give after the repo sync step.

Thank you,

Mutyala rao.

Hi

Android repo sync download around 30 to 40 GB. Some thing is wrong at your end, or net speed is really low.

You can follow the below link

Hi sourabh patel,

                         Downloaded the android source code of kitkat 4.4.3 but when i am downloading the kernel image i followed the following steps

                         $ cd myandroid

                         $ git clone git://git.freescale.com/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git kernel_imx # the kernel repo is

                            heavy. Therefore, this process can take a while.

                         $ cd kernel_imx

                         $ git checkout kk4.4.3_2.0.0-ga

                         root@cpu11:~/myandroid/kernel_imx# git checkout kk4.4.3_2.0.0-ga

                         Checking out files: 100% (36745/36745), done.

                         Note: checking out 'kk4.4.3_2.0.0-ga'.

                         You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental

                         changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this

                         state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

                         If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may

                         do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

                           git checkout -b new_branch_name

                         HEAD is now at 1c3a910... MLK-10033 cpufreq: cpufreq-imx6: add cpufreq mutex for regulator enable/disable

                         can you please tell me what happened in this step.Is this an indication of succesfull download of kernel image?

                         Can i move to download the uboot-image?Wainting for your positive reply.

Thanks,

Mutyala Rao.

Hi

Your kernel check out is correct.

linux-2.6-imx.git - Freescale i.MX Linux Tree

You can continue with the u-boot.

Thanks

Hi ,

          When iam building my source code for imx6 sololite getting error like

         bionic/libc/kernel/common/asm-generic/ioctls.h:75:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition

               Can you please tell me what is this error?Waiting for positive reply.

[saurabh206]

Hi

Modified the termbits.h file. Try guarding the 'struct termios2' definition with #ifdef __ASM_GENERIC_TERMBITS_H in bionic/libc/kernel/arch-arm/asm/termbits.h

Hi Sourab,

               Actually i made some changes in files

               1) myandroid/external/wpa_supplicant_8/wpa_supplicant/src/drivers/drivers.h

               2)myandroid/hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c

               3)myandroid/device/fsl/evk_6sl/BoardConfig.mk

              4)myandroid/frameworks/base/wifi/java/android/net/wifi/WifiApConfigStore.java

              5)myandroid/system/netd/SoftapController.cpp

               Is there any chance of finding the actual source code files in internet? beacuse while building my android source code it is behaving strangely. And most important thing is i am using 2.6 kernel for imx6 solo lite. Is there any chance of                using 3 above linux kernels?

Thank you,

Mutyala rao

Hi Sourab,

               It would be helpful if you forward the above Android kitkat 4.4.3_2.0.0 files.Please forward these files .

Thank you,

[saurabh206]

Hi

Mutyala

What i suggest that please build default android source code as per mention in "Android_user_guild.pdf".

Once that build complete you can modify according to your requirement.

[mutyalaraoneela]

Hi Sourab,

                    Due to the lack of memory i gave make clean to my android source code.But now when iam giving
