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.
