Question

I downloaded Android 2.2 source code a long time ago but it didn’t have the kernel source code. I looked online and it seems like there is a separate Android kernel source I should download.

Someone gave me this address

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common

but I think I should specify the version and branch.
So what is the full command to download Android 2.2 froyo kernel source code?
