Cannot load sources to my UBUNTU system

AKN

Based on TI's documentation for Android on the AM37X I followed the doc till the following:

Using pre-packaged repo

The above method is ideal but is time consuming, so developers can use the pre-packaged Android sources in DevKit package.

NOTE: Once the sources are generated developers can do a “repo sync” to pull latest updates (if any) from gitorious.org/rowboat

  $ mkdir rowboat-android
  $ cd rowboat-android
  $ Download the pre-packaged repo from http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_tii/TI_Android_DevKit/TI_Android_GingerBread_2_3_4_DevKit_2_1/index_FDS.html
  $ tar -xvzf 	TI_Android_GingerBread_2_3_4Sources.tar.gz
  $ cd 	TI_Android_GingerBread_2_3_4Sources
  $ ./.repo/repo/repo sync --local-only

The last command fails as follows:

s$ ./.repo/repo/repo sync --local-only
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise GitError('%s: %s' % (command[1], e))
error.GitError: config: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Does anybody have an idea why? I am following the TI documentation under

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-GingerBread-2.3.4-DevKit-2.1_DeveloperGuide#TI_Android_GingerBread_2.3.4_DevKit_2.1_Developer_Guide

I am running UBUNTU as a VM under VMWare. The UBUNTU version is 11

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Narayan,

It seems you have not followed step1 #http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-GingerBread-2.3.4-DevKit-2.1_DeveloperGuide#For_Ubuntu_on_32-bit_machines

You need to install required packages before going ahead.

  $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
  $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner"
  $ sudo apt-get update
  $ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg sun-java6-jdk flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev minicom tftpd uboot-mkimage expect
  $ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

Hello Satish,

Thank you for your response. I tried what you emailed me.

The second command fails. I have the latest UBUNTU version.

narayan@narayan-virtual-machine:~$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner"

Error: 'deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner' invalid

Hi,

1. You can still go ahead installing other packages. If is works for you...

2. Or else refer below link for workaround.

Thank you all for your assistance. As I stated earlier, I was using Ubuntu as a Virtual Machine under Win 7 Pro. After sometime I was getting errors regarding disk. I reinstalled the VM with a 100GB partition and now I have compiled the kernel.
