Building Linaro Android from source and replacing the kernel in an Linaro Android build

[Zach Pfeffer]

I get these questions a lot so I wrote some blog posts with the exact
steps I used.

Hi Zach,

Please let me know if the procedure mentioned in the above blogs still holds good, because I wanted to download the Linaro 11.10 tracking-panda release using the steps given the link shared below but I seem to get stuck at one point.

Link:- https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSource

Error:-

>>From git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/development

>>   6c368d2..799fada  master     -> korg/master

>>Fetching projects:  28% (52/185)  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

>>fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

>>error: Cannot fetch people/pawelmoll/gator

Please help me resolve the same. Also I wanted to download the kernel used for this build, but once again the blog shared by you doesnot help in getting information from  source-manifest.xml.

thanks and regards,

Vinayak

So this just came out (documentation to follow). If you take a look at
a recent build like,

https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/panda-ics-gcc46-tilt-tracking-blob/

You'll see 2 scripts:

Rebuilds the build from source

linaro_android_build_cmds.sh

Rebuilds the kernel from source

linaro_kernel_build_cmds.sh

You just run thme from the command line, and bingo, you've got a new
build or kernel. Andy Doan put um together.
