Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH v3 2/3] website: add a showcase page
Date: Thu,  5 Nov 2026 18:50:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105175058.3132718-2-angelo.compagnucci@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105175058.3132718-1-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, Sipeed NanoKVM and
  Analog Devices ADALM-PLUTO;
- open source projects: Batocera.linux, Recalbox, MiSTer FPGA,
  OpenIPC, Thingino, minikube, Nerves, SeedSigner OS and SkiffOS;
- vendor SDKs: Texas Instruments, Microchip, STMicroelectronics,
  Analog Devices, Canaan Kendryte K230, StarFive JH7110 and Espressif
  ESP32-S31.

The page ends by inviting users to tell about their products on the
mailing list.

Changes v2 -> v3:
  - reorganize the page to prioritize active projects, each one
    checked against its public repository, documentation or
    image [Thomas]:
    - tagline: "From cars and smart homes to cameras and retro
      consoles";
    - well known: keep Tesla even if it is old, because its Buildroot
      tree is still public and verifiable on GitHub; describe it as the
      tree building the infotainment and Autopilot images;
    - well known: mention the br2-external tree of Home Assistant OS
      and link its GitHub repository; replace Google Fiber and GoPro
      with Sipeed NanoKVM and Analog Devices ADALM-PLUTO;
    - projects: drop KNULLI, RaspberryMatic, OpenWrt (not Buildroot
      based anymore), Kerberos.io KiOS (archived) and Open Voice OS
      (barely active); add MiSTer FPGA, Thingino, minikube,
      SeedSigner OS and SkiffOS; reword Recalbox;
    - vendor SDKs: drop Rockchip (only a Web Archive copy of its guide
      is left); update the Texas Instruments link to SDK 12.01 and the
      Microchip link to the linux4microchip repository, with PolarFire
      SoC; list the STM32MP1 and STM32MP2 for ST; add Analog Devices,
      Canaan Kendryte K230, StarFive JH7110 and Espressif ESP32-S31.

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.
