In order to get access to the sources, you have to register an account on our Gerrit. Gerrit is a web-based tool that we use for hosting source code, among other things. Click on the register link using OpenID and upload an SSH key into your Gerrit account.
Browse and view the source code¶
You can browse and view the sources without downloading them to your
computer using the Gerrit web interface. After selecting Browse >
Repositories in the top bar and selecting a code repository, select
“Repository Browser > browse” to browse its code base. The Fairphone 5
source code can be found in the odm/dev/qssi/13/fp5
and
odm/dev/target/13/fp5
branches.
Download the source code¶
Warning
Please note that you need at least 500 GB of free disk space.
Installing repo¶
As the source code consists of many subprojects, we will use the
repo
tool to download the source code. It is very handy to install
repo
in a user local bin directory.
To install repo, follow the instructions on the AOSP website.
Initializing the repo¶
Fairphone 5 makes use of Qualcomm’s single system image (QSSI), thus two source trees are needed.
The following commands initialize the repo
manifest for the QSSI
tree:
mkdir fp5-qssi && cd fp5-qssi
repo init -u ssh://gerrit-public.fairphone.software:29418/manifest -b refs/heads/odm/public/13/fp5 -m qssi.xml
# or for http based access
# repo init -u https://gerrit-public.fairphone.software/manifest -b refs/heads/odm/public/13/fp5 -m qssi.xml
The following commands initialize the repo
manifest for the target
tree:
mkdir fp5-target && cd fp5-target
repo init -u ssh://gerrit-public.fairphone.software:29418/manifest -b refs/heads/odm/public/13/fp5 -m target.xml
# or for http based access
# repo init -u https://gerrit-public.fairphone.software/manifest -b refs/heads/odm/public/13/fp5 -m target.xml
Downloading the source tree¶
From within either of the previous checkouts, download the source by issuing the following command:
repo sync --detach --current-branch --no-tags
The first time you’ll do that it will take quite some time.
