Source Code

Nearly all of the software that makes up the ev3dev OS is open source. Since ev3dev is based on Debian Linux many software packages come from the official Debian repositories. Source code for these packages can be found at packages.debian.org.

The software that was developed by ev3dev.org is hosted on the ev3dev GitHub site. Direct links to some of the more interesting repositories are listed below.
