Hi All,

Any idea how do I download Android kernel?

I can use:

git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git kernel

But I want a specific kernel version. Any idea how do I obtain my
preferred kernel version?

Thanks In Advance,
Perumal

Hi,

For example :


$git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common


We check which branch we have downloaded:
$git branch

it shows * android-2.6.27, not the one we are searching for:

To list all remote available branches:
$git branch -r
  origin/HEAD -> origin/android-2.6.27
origin/android-2.6.25
origin/android-2.6.27
origin/android-2.6.29
origin/android-2.6.32
origin/android-goldfish-2.6.27
origin/android-goldfish-2.6.29

Download
android-2.6.32 kernel version
$git checkout --track -b android-2.6.32 origin/android-2.6.32
 $git branch
    android-2.6.27
*
android-2.6.32
Cheer,
Tung

Hi Tung,

I tried your method to get 2.6.29 but I am looking for a specific
version. I am looking for Kernel Version 2.6.29-e3993620

Any idea if it is possible to get such specific kernel versions?

Thanks and Regards,
Perumal

Hi All,

I am compiling Loadable Kernel Module for Android running on that
kernel but I couldn't download that version. Since cannot get that
version.

Anyone have any idea how to change the name of the kernel version to
match the phone's one?

Is there any config file I have to modify for it.

Thanks In Advance,
Perumal
