Is there a chance Sven> that this will work for the described setup? Unfortunately not, buildroot only knows of a single rootfs - So you'll need to build the 2 rootfs'es seperately. The only other option I could think of is perhaps to combine the two rootfs'es and include the factory test sw in the device rootfs if that's an option? -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
