[Buildroot] Which commercial products use buildroot?

[Buildroot] Which commercial products use buildroot?

[Tom Parkin]

Hi list,

I'm doing some research into embedded Linux distributions as a
background to an article I'm planning on the various embedded distros
and their areas of application. Particularly, I'm interested in
finding out about any commercial products which have used a particular
distribution in their software stack -- I think such examples will
help give my audience something extra to relate to, particularly if
they are widely known examples.

As such, I was wondering whether you know of any products which use
buildroot?

Many thanks for your help,
Tom

[Buildroot] Which commercial products use buildroot?

[Cyril HAENEL]

Hi,

There is at least my product I developped for the french laboratory 
"Arc'Antique", which is specialized in heritage restauration.
The product do controlled high power electrolysis on metalic heritage 
piece collected in the sea to restore them. Configuration and 
supervision are done through web pages (with ethernet, wifi, gprs or pstn).
I use buildroot-2009.05 on an Arm AT91SAM9260 processor, associed with 
64MiB SDRAM and 512MiB Nand flash (jffs2 filesystem).

Regards,
Cyril HAENEL

Thanks for the reply -- it looks like a cool project ;-)

Do you have any website about the project that I could link to?

All the best,
Tom

[Buildroot] Auto standby after 10 minutes, what origin?

[Damien Borie]

Hello,

I made a distribution for a PDX 089T with a Vortex CPU. Everything works 
fine, but, after 10 minutes, I always have an automatic standby. It 
comes with Xorg started and also in console without any X server.
So I conclude it isn't a Xorg configuration problem.
But, where does this standby could come from? Kernel configuration? 
Hardware?
I thought somebody here might have already encountered the problem...

Thanks.

We've been using buildroot for our rugged displays the last 4-5 years:

We at Imagination Technologies use buildroot as the default build
environment we ship with our processor cores:

Some of our customers have based their consumer electronics products
on buildroot too.

Atmel is using Buildroot as one component of the official BSP for their
AT91 evaluation boards :
 http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/BuildRoot
 (but the version they are using is very, very old)

Atmel is also using Buildroot for their AVR32 evaluation boards :
 http://www.atmel.no/buildroot/

Calao Systems <http://www.calao-systems.com> (maker of AT91-based
boards and soon OMAP3530-based boards) is using Buildroot for their
boards as well.

Armadeus <http://www.armadeus.org> (maker of Freescale iMX-based
boards, coming with a FPGA) is using Buildroot for their boards.

Tensilica, makers of the Xtensa CPU architecture, is also using
Buildroot, see http://wiki.linux-xtensa.org/index.php/Main_Page and
http://wiki.linux-xtensa.org/index.php/Buildroot_Build_Instructions.

Simtec (http://www.simtec.co.uk/products/SWBUILDROOT/) seems to also be
using Buildroot.

And then there are lots of companies using Buildroot to generate their
embedded Linux system, but do not say publicly anything about this. For
example, several of our customers do use Buildroot for things like
digital television converters, fitness devices, GPS-tracking devices
and many other things.

Thomas

[Steve Calfee]

I wasn't sure about NDAs, but after a quick google, this appears to be public information (circa 2004). This did use buildroot and I presume still does:

Hi folks,

Many thanks for all the great suggestions and links.  It's really
interesting to see all the different areas that buildroot is being
used in, and provides good fuel for my article!

All the best,
Tom
