Get the sources of the Linux kernel for your device, rebuilt it, and build a userspace for it with Buildroot. > 2.When I build my software using buildroot, how can I upload it to my embeded device? 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.
