B2G/QA/Flashing A Daily Build

Instructions on Flashing a Daily Build

Daily builds are created from a manifest file, that contains commits from different parts of the stack. (gaia, gonk, and gecko). Our Engineering team has set up a daily repository for daily builds being built against specific devices.

Downloading a build

• The main builds are stored daily in the FTP directory. For directory access, please see someone from the Mozilla QA team. (tchung@mozilla.com, jammink@mozilla.com)

• • Note: you must be employed by Mozilla to access these builds

Pre setup

• Mac/Linux: install Android SDK and tools
  • Add adb to your path (lives in /platform-tools)
• Windows: install Android SDK and tools
  • Add adb to your path (lives in /platform-tools)
  • install cygwin

Step 1

1. Download the latest build from the Daily FTP directory. It will look like <name_date.zip> format 2. Unzip it into a folder.

$ cd b2g-distro

Step 2

1. Hook up a b2g phone to your computer via USB 2. in command line:

$ ./flash.sh

You'll see the device begin flashing, and command line run through the installer. It will say completed when done.

That's it!
