Description
Building your own Linux for a dev board means assembling the cross compiler, kernel and root filesystem yourself, and it is easy to get lost. Buildroot generates a whole embedded Linux system through cross-compilation from a simple configuration.
The idea is simple, efficient and easy to use: pick a target board and packages, and the build gives you an image ready to flash. Many board Linux BSPs are built on it.
Cross-compilation:produces the toolchain, kernel and root filesystem in one run.
Package selection:choose packages through a configuration menu.
Custom images:small system images that flash directly.
LTS releases:long-term support versions are published.
