Dinesh,

Could you improve a bit the way you quote text when replying to
e-mails? Your quoting style makes it quite hard to reply.

Atmel used to have a fork of Buildroot with the support for their
boards. Instead of having such a fork, they decided to now support
their boards directly in the official Buildroot. Their fork is
therefore no longer necessary and will be deprecated. Just use the
official Buildroot.
