 <a name="androidSourceSetupBuildGitSetup"></a><h2>Introduction</h2>

 <p>Android relies on Git, a version control system, to install the Android platform. You will need to install Git 1.5.2 or greater in order to access the source tree. Please visit <a href="http://git.or.cz/">http://git.or.cz/</a> for more information regarding Git.</p>
 <p>Git permits you to control access to working directories, and we recommend that you use it to limit Android repository access to only a few people within your organization (please refer to your Google NDA for potential contractual restraints on sharing Android source access). </p>
 <p>You may clone Google's repository to a local copy for sharing internally (see Git documentation for details).</p>


 <a name="androidSourceSetupBuildGitSetupInstall"></a><h2>Installing and Configuring Git</h2>

 <p>To install the Git package, execute:</p>
 <pre class="prettyprint">
 % sudo apt-get install git-core
 </pre>


 <a name="androidSourceSetupBuildGitSetupServer"></a><h2>Establishing Server Access</h2>

 <p>Once Git is cleanly installed, you need to establish a connection with Google's Git server, a connection that requires an RSA key in order to authenticate requests.</p>


 <a name="androidSourceSetupBuildGitSetupServerRSAKeys"></a><h3>Generating RSA Keys</h3>

 <p>Each developer must have a unique RSA key in order to access Android source code. To generate an RSA key: </p>
 <p>
 <ol>
 <li>Type:<br/>
 <pre class="prettyprint">% ssh-keygen -t rsa -C  email@domain.com</pre><br/>
 You must use a valid email address to create your key.</li>
 <li>When prompted, indicate the file to which you wish to write your key (<code>id_rsa</code> in this example).</li>
 <li>When prompted, associate a passphrase with your key.</li>
 <li>Upon success, you should have two files saved to the designated directory:  </li>
 <ul>
   <li><code>id_rsa</code>: This file contains the private half of your RSA key. You shouldn't share this file with anyone. </li>
   <li><code>id_rsa.pub</code>: This is the public half or your RSA key and you should send it to your Google technical account manager.</li>
   </ul>
 </ol>
 </p>
 <p>Send your Google Account Manager your public key file in order to establish Git server access. </p>


 <a name="androidSourceSetupBuildGitSetupServerVerifyConnection"></a><h3>Verifying a Connection to the Git Server</h3>

 <p>Once you have generated an RSA key and shared the public file with Google, you can test your connection with the Git server with the following command:</p>
 <pre class="prettyprint">
 % ssh  android-git.ext.google.com
 </pre>

 <p>You should receive one of the following results:</p>

 <table border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0>
  <tbody><tr>
   <th scope="col">Result</th>
   <th scope="col">Cause</th>
   <th  scope="col">Action</th>
  </tr>
   <tr>
     <td>
 <code>fatal: What do you think I am? A shell?<BR>
 Connection to android-git closed.</code>
 </pre>	</td>
     <td>Success</td>
     <td>None. You successfully connected to the Git server. (You should not have shell access and it's expected to receive this error.)</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td>ssh hangs and eventually times out. </td>
     <td>Your setup is failing to locate and establish a basic connection. </td>
     <td>Google needs to debug network settings. </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td>Error: Permission denied &lt;public key&gt; </td>
     <td>Either you are not using the matching username or the RSA private key does not match the public key. </td>
     <td>Try executing:<BR>
 	<code>
 % ssh $USER@android-
   git.ext.google.com
 </code></td>
   </tr>
 </table>


 <a name="androidSourceSetupGetCode"></a><h2>Downloading Code</h2>

 <p>Android source code is maintained in two repositories: <code>device</code> and <code>kernel</code>. The <code>device</code> repository includes the Android framework (things like the Activity Manager, Window Manager, Telephony Manager, View System, etc.). The <code>kernel</code> repository includes the core code necessary to run the operating system (things like the Display Driver, Camera Driver, Keypad Driver, Power Management, etc.). (Please see <a href="http://code.google.com/android/what-is-android.html">What is Android?</a> for details.)</p>

 <p>Save device and kernel code at the same directory level, for example:</p>
 <p>
 <ul><li><code>/home/joe/android/device</code></li>
 <li><code>/home/joe/android/kernel</code></li>
 </ul></p>
 <p><b>Device Code</b></p>
 <p>To download device code, you need your username and a unique <code>&lt;path&gt;</code> string supplied by Google to execute the following:</p>
 <pre class="prettyprint">
 % git-clone $USER@android-git.ext.google.com:&lt;path&gt;/device.git
 </pre>

 <p><b>Kernel Code</b></p>
 <p>To download kernel code, you need your username and a unique <code>&lt;path&gt;</code> string supplied by Google to execute the following:</p>
 <pre class="prettyprint">
 % git-clone $USER@android-git.ext.google.com:&lt;path&gt;/kernel.git
 </pre>


 <a name="androidSourceSetupExtractingPatch"></a><h2>Extracting an Android Patch</h2>

 <p>You likely already have Linux running on your platform and only need to integrate Android-specific changes. The following directions describe how to extract an Android patch.</p>
 <ol>
   <li>Download a generic version  of the Linux kernel that matches the Linux version downloaded with the Android Kernel code.</li>
   <li>Run <code>diff</code> on the two kernel packages to get Android-specific changes.</li>
   <li>Apply the patch to your target kernel and build.</li>
 </ol>

	You must use a valid email address to create your key.</li>
	<li>When prompted, indicate the file to which you wish to write your key (<code>id_rsa</code> in this example).</li>
	<li>When prompted, associate a passphrase with your key.</li>
	<li>Upon success, you should have two files saved to the designated directory: </li>
	<ul>
	<li><code>id_rsa</code>: This file contains the private half of your RSA key. You shouldn't share this file with anyone. </li>
	<li><code>id_rsa.pub</code>: This is the public half or your RSA key and you should send it to your Google technical account manager.</li>
	</ul>
	</ol>
	</p>
	<p>Send your Google Account Manager your public key file in order to establish Git server access. </p>


	<a name="androidSourceSetupBuildGitSetupServerVerifyConnection"></a><h3>Verifying a Connection to the Git Server</h3>

	<p>Once you have generated an RSA key and shared the public file with Google, you can test your connection with the Git server with the following command:</p>
	<pre class="prettyprint">
	% ssh android-git.ext.google.com
	</pre>

	<p>You should receive one of the following results:</p>

	<table border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0>
	<tbody><tr>
	<th scope="col">Result</th>
	<th scope="col">Cause</th>
	<th scope="col">Action</th>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	<td>
	<code>fatal: What do you think I am? A shell?<BR>
	Connection to android-git closed.</code>
	</pre> </td>
	<td>Success</td>
	<td>None. You successfully connected to the Git server. (You should not have shell access and it's expected to receive this error.)</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	<td>ssh hangs and eventually times out. </td>
	<td>Your setup is failing to locate and establish a basic connection. </td>
	<td>Google needs to debug network settings. </td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	<td>Error: Permission denied <public key> </td>
	<td>Either you are not using the matching username or the RSA private key does not match the public key. </td>
	<td>Try executing:<BR>
	<code>
	% ssh $USER@android-
	git.ext.google.com
	</code></td>

	<a name="androidSourceSetupGetCode"></a><h2>Downloading Code</h2>

	<p>Android source code is maintained in two repositories: <code>device</code> and <code>kernel</code>. The <code>device</code> repository includes the Android framework (things like the Activity Manager, Window Manager, Telephony Manager, View System, etc.). The <code>kernel</code> repository includes the core code necessary to run the operating system (things like the Display Driver, Camera Driver, Keypad Driver, Power Management, etc.). (Please see <a href="http://code.google.com/android/what-is-android.html">What is Android?</a> for details.)</p>

	<p>Save device and kernel code at the same directory level, for example:</p>
	<p>
	<ul><li><code>/home/joe/android/device</code></li>
	<li><code>/home/joe/android/kernel</code></li>
	</ul></p>
	<p><b>Device Code</b></p>
	<p>To download device code, you need your username and a unique <code><path></code> string supplied by Google to execute the following:</p>
	<pre class="prettyprint">
	% git-clone $USER@android-git.ext.google.com:<path>/device.git
	</pre>

	<p><b>Kernel Code</b></p>
	<p>To download kernel code, you need your username and a unique <code><path></code> string supplied by Google to execute the following:</p>
	<pre class="prettyprint">
	% git-clone $USER@android-git.ext.google.com:<path>/kernel.git
	</pre>



	<a name="androidSourceSetupExtractingPatch"></a><h2>Extracting an Android Patch</h2>

	<p>You likely already have Linux running on your platform and only need to integrate Android-specific changes. The following directions describe how to extract an Android patch.</p>
	<ol>
	<li>Download a generic version of the Linux kernel that matches the Linux version downloaded with the Android Kernel code.</li>
	<li>Run <code>diff</code> on the two kernel packages to get Android-specific changes.</li>
	<li>Apply the patch to your target kernel and build.</li>
	</ol>
