Title: Compile Ubuntu firmware(GPT)
Dear All,

I tried steps from your wiki page to download Linux sdk but get this error;

met@met:~/Desktop/Ubuntu firmware(GPT)/linux/linux-sdk$ ../repo/repo init --repo-url https://github.com/FireflyTeam/repo.git -u https://github.com/FireflyTeam/manifests.git -b linux-sdk -m rk3399/rk3399_linux_release.xml

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/home/met/Desktop/Ubuntu firmware(GPT)/linux/repo/main.py", line 507, in _Main

(self._project.name, name, p.stderr))
error.GitError: manifests var:
*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'met@met.(none)')

Metin

Hi, Metin

The problem is that git wants to identify you when you start init:

*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"

Just run commands above with your email and name quoted and you can proceed.
If you want to change this, please re-run 'repo init' with --config-name

Further problem you may face during almost last step - Fetching projects: 97% (35/36) - is that sync command for repo cannot fetch the kernel branch due to wrong SHA1:

error: Cannot fetch kernel (GitError: kernel update-ref: fatal: 56b9229b4b31b7f9c8d6951609db43440f8f2631^0: not a valid SHA1
error: Exited sync due to fetch errors

Copy the code

Still not fixed..
