Well, you can certainly backport the package. But beware that a simple copy of package/iotop/ will most likely not work. Indeed between a Buildroot of ~2013 (that you are using) and a Buildroot of 2015 (which has iotop), we most likely made some changes in the package infrastructure. So you will have to re-adapt iotop.mk. Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering http://free-electrons.com
