1 Getting Started
This is a pre-CS release.
NOTE:
1.1 Downloading QTI proprietary software from ChipCode
QTI software can be downloaded from the ChipCode™ website. Designated points of contact in
your organization can download the licensed software. The software is organized into distribution
packages (distros) composed of subsystem image files. Each distro has a corresponding Git
project. The Git tree includes revisions for previous builds that allow you to diff the changes
between releases.
1. If you are new to ChipCode, review the following link for up-to-date documentation and a set
of tutorial videos:
https://chipcode.qti.qualcomm.com/projects/help/wiki
2. Create a top-level directory on the build PC and unzip each of the subsystem images to
generate the following directory structure. In this example, <target_root> is the top-level
directory.

<target_root>
/common/
/boot_images/
/common/
/modem_proc/
/rpm_proc/
/trustzone_images/
/cnss_proc/
/LINUX/
contents.xml
3. Ensure that the contents.xml file is located in the root folder as shown above.

1.2 Downloading open source HLOS software
The Linux Board Support Package (BSP) release is obtained in two parts, a proprietary release
from ChipCode and an open source release from the Code Aurora Forum (CAF) site.
1. Open the contents.xml file that was downloaded from ChipCode (see Section 1.1) and search
for the <name>apps</name> tag.

2. Below this tag, locate the <build_id> tag. This identifies the corresponding open source

HLOS software build. For example:

<build_id> LA.BR.1.2.3-02510-8x09.0</build_id>

3. Follow the instructions listed at https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/release (look
under the Branch releases section) to find the APSS build ID in the released software.
4. In an empty directory, use the repo init command with the correct branch and manifest as

indicated in the branch releases table.

$ repo init -u git://codeaurora.org/platform/manifest.git -b release -m
[manifest] –repo-url=git://codeaurora.org/tools/repo.git

5. Type the repo sync command.

$ repo sync

6. After the repo sync finishes, copy the vendor/qcom/proprietary directory tree from the
proprietary HLOS release into the open source HLOS source tree contained in your
workspace.

$cp -r <LYA_build_location>/HY11-<build_id>/LINUX/android/*.

2. Enter the following command to configure the
build environment shell settings.
source build/envsetup.sh
You must use the source command so that the
environment settings are defined in the current
shell.
3. Enter the lunch command to select the build
configuration, or enter with no parameters to
see an interactive menu for making selections.

lunch msm8909-userdebug
4. Run make to start the build (shown with –j 16
option to run parallel builds for faster build times
on a multicore build machine).
make –j4
For complete build instructions, see MSM8909 Linux Android Software User Manual Software
Product Document [SP80-NR964-4].
For the build components and IDs, refer to the about.html file in the root of the repository on
Qualcomm ChipCode.
