Tools and distributions for embedded Linux development ?, written by Tom Parkin, at http://lwn.net/Articles/384713/ (only available to subscribers for the moment, will be available freely next week). Buildroot is cited amongst the different tools for building embedded Linux systems : ? Buildroot is perhaps the simplest of the build framework projects. Buildroot provides a menu-driven configuration similar to that used by the Linux kernel, and an automated build based around makefiles. It can be used to build anything from a cross-compilation toolchain right up to a complete root filesystem for the device. It also provides a simple mechanism for developers to patch software packages as they are built. Since its initial release in 2005, Buildroot has achieved considerable popularity in a range of applications, which can include anything from chip manufacturer board support packages to embedded firmware for rugged displays. ?
