Get the sources of the Linux kernel for your device, rebuilt it, and
build a userspace for it with Buildroot.

It is entirely device-specific, so it absolutely impossible to answer
this question without knowing in detail which device you're targeting.
Beware though that a big number of consumer-grade devices are sometimes
difficult to hack on, and it may be difficult to reflash them with your
own system. It really depends on the device you're targeting.
Best regards,
Thomas
