Access to GIT Repositories

New page

= Access to GIT Repositories =

The <tt>linux-xtensa.org</tt> site hosts a number of GIT repositories.
They provide access to the latest sources for their respective projects.
Alternatively, one can download
[[Buildroot_Snapshots|snapshot releases]] which
are updated much less frequently.

The following sections describe how to access these source repositories.

== Accessing buildroot sources ==

Buildroot is used to build the toolchain and root filesystem.
The following downloads a copy of the entire GIT repository:

$ git clone git://git.linux-xtensa.org/git/buildroot/buildroot-xtensa buildroot

Those with write access to the repository should use the <tt>git+ssh</tt> method instead, like this:

$ git clone git+ssh://git.linux-xtensa.org/git/buildroot/buildroot-xtensa buildroot

Commits to this tree are automatically posted to the
[http://lists.linux-xtensa.org/mailman/listinfo/buildroot-xtensa-commits buildroot-xtensa-commits list].

== Accessing Linux kernel sources ==

There are normally multiple Linux kernel trees to choose from.
At the time of writing, the <tt>xtensa-2.6.24</tt> tree is the active tree.
This tree is based on the released 2.6.24 kernel from <tt>kernel.org</tt>.

To get the <tt>xtensa-2.6.24</tt> tree into directory ''<dir>'' (which must not already exist),
do this:

$ git clone git://git.linux-xtensa.org/git/kernel/xtensa-2.6.24 <dir>

This creates and populates the ''<dir>'' directory. If ''<dir>'' is omitted, it defaults to <tt>xtensa-2.6.24</tt> (the last non-extension part of the cloned path).
Those with write access to the repository should use the <tt>git+ssh</tt> method instead, like this:

$ git clone git+ssh://git.linux-xtensa.org/git/kernel/xtensa-2.6.24 <dir>

Commits to this tree are automatically posted to the
[http://lists.linux-xtensa.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-xtensa-devel-commits linux-xtensa-devel-commits list].

== Accessing U-Boot bootloader sources ==

A preliminary version of U-Boot for the Xtensa architecture is available.
The following downloads a copy of the entire GIT repository:

$ git clone git://git.linux-xtensa.org/git/u-boot/u-boot-xtensa.git u-boot

Those with write access to the repository should use the <tt>git+ssh</tt> method instead, like this:

$ git clone git+ssh://git.linux-xtensa.org/git/u-boot/u-boot-xtensa.git u-boot

'' '''PLEASE NOTE:''' These paths are likely to change when the port becomes official.''

Commits to this tree are not yet automatically posted to any list.

== Write Access ==

Only a small number of core developers have write access to these
repositories. To submit changes, you are encouraged to submit patches to
the [http://lists.linux-xtensa.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-xtensa linux-xtensa mailing list].
Contributors are expected to consistently provide
good patches, and have a certain level of involvement and commitment
to the relevant project, before being considered for write access.
