Buildroot - Making Embedded System Easy
Submitted Feb 8, 2018
Buildroot is simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation.
This talk will help existing users of Embedded system to automate the build process of their embedded linux system, make it easier and fully reproducible, benefit from thousands of pre-existing packages and create custom Linux systems perfectly adapted to their products.
Audience will be beginners or existing users of Embedded Linux System.
Outline
I will try to include following topics:
- Introduction to Buildroot
- Managing and building the configuration
- Buildroot source and build trees
- Toolchains in Buildroot
- Managing the Linux kernel configuration
- Root filesystem
- Integrating new packages
- Analyzing the build
- Open source compilance
- Buildroot community: getting support and contributing
I will try to existing available material e.g. https://bootlin.com/training/buildroot/
Requirements
Participants may bring laptop and raspberry pi (prefered 3 model b). This may help with trying Buildroot in Raspberry Pi. But it is not really required.
