Our boards has PowerPC/ARM/MIPS running Linux. And also has ARM 
microcontrollers.

So, when we build the main firmware (Linux + rootfs) with Buildroot, we 
also build the microcontroller firmware that goes inside the rootfs 
(using a secondary toolchain).

With this way, we have just one build-system (Buildroot), with 
everything we need integrated on it.

My apologies if it is not the Buildroot idea, but this kind of 
integration is facilitating our work.

Cheers,
