Summary of Important Git Trees

This page is out of date but might still be useful for pointing out some git trees you may not have known about.

Intro

As more and more git trees pop up it is increasingly difficult to keep track of them all. This wiki page is intended to give a summary of some of the most important git trees to get you started quickly with development.

Arago

The Arago trees serve as a staging area where TI's software teams push their latest code. The latest features and bug fixes will often appear here before they gain acceptance into the trees at kernel.org or the u-boot mainline.

For example, to clone the Arago Davinci tree to a local directory named arago-linux-davinci.git you would run the following command:

git clone git://arago-project.org/git/projects/linux-davinci.git arago-linux-davinci.git

Currently the arago tree contains definitions for each processor. So when doing the build you should choose a specific device family. For example:

make distclean
make davinci_dm644x_defconfig ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
make uImage ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
make modules ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

In other words don't use the davinci_all_defconfig used in the community kernel.

U-Boot

Clone recent open source U-Boot by git

Use

git-clone git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git u-boot

to get the most recent U-Boot git repository to your local disk. This is what you'll probably want if you're developing support for a new board, or just want a more capable version to install on your existing development board.

Kernel

Clone recent open source Davinci Linux kernel git

Use

git-clone  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/khilman/linux-davinci.git

to get the most recent DaVinci Linux kernel git repository to your local disk (Attention: Downloads ~210MB!). You can then update that with "git pull" to get recent updates

Clone recent open source Davinci Linux kernel git over http

You can use

git-clone   http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/khilman/linux-davinci.git
            

if you have firewall problems.

Clone recent open source OMAP Linux kernel git

First cd into some directory where you want to keep your git trees. Then clone linux-omap git tree:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git

Clone recent open source OMAP Linux kernel git over http

If you're behind a firewall you can use:

git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git

You may need to export http_proxy environment variable for proxy.
