gitorious download failure

Dear Sir/Madam,

when I was downloading android source codes for my DM8168evm, I failed with the following printouts:

~/rowboat-android$ ~/bin/repo init -u git://gitorious.org/rowboat/manifest.git -m rowboat-froyo-am389x.xml Getting manifest ... from git://gitorious.org/rowboat/manifest.git fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: cannot obtain manifest git://gitorious.org/rowboat/manifest.git

 

P.S. It was said this could be due to the Chinese govnment firewall. If so, could you help to provide a different link for us to download the snapshot of its stable release instead of using git?

Best regards Hoover

  • Hi,

    Even I faced the same issue when I tried to down load the android source jb 4.2 for am335x evm board.

    I took the pre sourced package from the ti website and able to build it.

    I think you can also check in the ti website if you get similar source package for your board.

  • Hi,

    Yes, it is recommended to use the release packages from TI website for the supported platforms on the TI website.
    The rowboat repository is no longer maintained by TI.
