Atmel is using Buildroot as one component of the official BSP for their AT91 evaluation boards : http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/BuildRoot (but the version they are using is very, very old) Atmel is also using Buildroot for their AVR32 evaluation boards : http://www.atmel.no/buildroot/ Calao Systems (maker of AT91-based boards and soon OMAP3530-based boards) is using Buildroot for their boards as well. Armadeus (maker of Freescale iMX-based boards, coming with a FPGA) is using Buildroot for their boards. Tensilica, makers of the Xtensa CPU architecture, is also using Buildroot, see http://wiki.linux-xtensa.org/index.php/Main_Page and http://wiki.linux-xtensa.org/index.php/Buildroot_Build_Instructions. Simtec (http://www.simtec.co.uk/products/SWBUILDROOT/) seems to also be using Buildroot. And then there are lots of companies using Buildroot to generate their embedded Linux system, but do not say publicly anything about this. For example, several of our customers do use Buildroot for things like digital television converters, fitness devices, GPS-tracking devices and many other things.
