Could you read the error message? It says: a2x: command not found So it means that the a2x command is not available on your system, and that you must install it. You have to install the 'asciidoc' package, which contains the necessary utilities to compile the Buildroot documentation. > TC stand for Tool Chain Ok.

A Pandaboard defconfig file was submitted some time ago, but hasn't been integrated into Buildroot (due to lack of time of the maintainer at the moment), but it would definitely be great to have one. You can search in the mailing list archives for the patch adding the Pandaboard defconfig file.
