Since the last 3 years, the project has seen an increasing activity,
and has been almost entirely rewritten. We are doing stable releases
every 3 months, are doing a lot more quality testing than we have been
doing in the past. We have given talks at the latests ELC, ELCE and
FOSDEM.

So, definitely it's not a dead project. It however doesn't fit the same
segment as Yocto: Yocto is an embedded distribution generator, while
Buildroot is just a root filesystem + kernel + bootloader image
generator. Buildroot is much, much simpler to use and set up, but also
offers less flexibility than Yocto.

Best regards,
