Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH v2 2/3] website: add a showcase page
Date: Thu,  5 Nov 2026 11:24:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105102458.1795886-2-angelo.compagnucci@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105102458.1795886-1-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.

Changes v1 -> v2:
- link the Rockchip Linux SDK to an official Rockchip document, the
  RK3399 Linux Buildroot development guide, instead of the Khadas
  documentation. The link points to the Web Archive copy, since
  opensource.rock-chips.com is not reachable anymore.
