[Buildroot] XBurst CPU by Ingenic

[Daniel Jabbour]

Hi,

Has anyone used buildroot with the XBurst CPU by Ingenic? It's a MIPS  
32 compatible CPU which Ingenic has released a toolkit for on their  
site (http://www.ingenic.cn/eng/productServ/kfyd/Linux/ 
pfCustomPage.aspx). It seems pretty straight forward, but I'm  
wondering if I need to use their toolchain or if I can simply use  
buildroot and select MIPS as the architecture.

My question is basically: Would you recommend using the Ingenic  
toolchain or simply a generic MIPS-32 one?

No idea, but the simplest approach would probably to just do a quick
BR compilation with the generic mips32 compiler and check that it all
works.
