Buildroot - Making Embedded System Easy

Submitted Feb 8, 2018

Technical level: Beginner

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

https://buildroot.org/

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.
