Buildroot Description

Making Embedded Linux easy Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches that makes it easy to generate a cross-compilation toolchain and root filesystem for your target Linux system using the uClibc C library. It is useful for embedded system software development.. Embedded systems often use processors that are not the regular x86 processors everyone is used to using on their PC. It can be PowerPC processors, MIPS processors, ARM processors, etc. And to be extra safe, you do not need to be root to build or run Buildroot. What's New in This Release: · Simplified / cleaned up output directories, thanks to Thomas Petazzoni · Sane clean/distclean make targets · Defconfigs are now located in configs/ for easy browsing like U-Boot / the Linux kernel · Support for the ARM cortex A8 architecture and GCC 4.4.2 support · New packages: divine, gvfs, libarchive, libmicrohttpd, sdl_sound, swfdec and sysstat · A bunch of more packages are converted into Makefile.autotools.in format, bringing cleanups and fixes various build issues.
