Technically this was documented here:

ftp://ftp.ingenic.cn/DevSupport/Linux/Linux-3.0.8/JZ4780/JZ4780_linux_development_guide_EN.pdf

Go to Â2.1 Download Source Code:

1) Download repo a) $ mkdir b) $ cd c) $ wget
http://git.ingenic.cn:8082/bj/repo d) $ chmod +x repo

However everything seems to be gone (including the gerrit page).
