Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 2/3] website: add a showcase page
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 11:17:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105101704.1627207-2-angelo.compagnucci@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105101704.1627207-1-angelo.compagnucci@gmail.com>
Add a page listing products and projects whose operating system is
built with Buildroot, each one with a link to a public source:
- well known products: Tesla, Home Assistant OS, Google Fiber and
GoPro;
- open source projects: Batocera, Recalbox, KNULLI, OpenIPC, Nerves,
RaspberryMatic, OpenWrt, Kerberos.io KiOS and Open Voice OS;
- vendor SDKs: Rockchip, Texas Instruments, Microchip and
STMicroelectronics.
The page ends by inviting users to tell about their products on the
mailing list.
