This isn't quite correct: Buildroot only supports Linux as an operating
system, and is only capable of generating Linux-based systems. At least
as of today.

That being said, you are right that we differ from other systems such
as OpenWRT in that we don't try to generate out of the box something
that looks like a product. We simply package existing open-source
software, make it easy to build all of them together, but we leave it
to the user to add the product/project specific additions such as web
interface, custom applications, etc.

Nikolay: we provide packages for many web servers, and also for many
Javascript libraries, which you can use to build your own web interface.

Best regards,

Thomas
