My N7 3G (tilipea) is running Android 4.4.3. I am trying to do a kernel mod. I want the source code on my Ubuntu VM. This table tells me to look in kernel/tegra, but the master branch is empty, and all of the other branches have similar names, so I have no idea which one to use.

Also, I noticed the table says to use device/asus/grouper, even for tilipea, but a also saw a folder for tilipea, and it has less files and folders in it. Do grouper and tilipea both share the grouper kernel?

In the table, what is the difference between Binary location, Source location, and Build configuration? I think Binary location is the firmware source and Source location is the kernel source. What is Build configuration? Where is the source for the bootloader and baseband?

Why are repositorys so unorganized?

Sorry if those are dumb questions, I am new. Thank you

git clone the kernle/tegra repo and the checkout to the last commit.
Use the tegra3_android_defconfig to build.
Cheers.
