- Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches that simplifies and automates the process of building a complete and bootable Linux environment for an embedded system, while using cross-compilation to allow building for multiple target platforms on a single Linux-based development system. Buildroot can automatically build the required cross-compilation toolchain, create a root file system, compile a Linux kernel image, and generate a boot loader for the targeted embedded system, or it can perform any independent combination of these steps. For example, an already installed cross-compilation toolchain can be used independently, while Buildroot only creates the root file system. Buildroot is primarily intended to be used with small or embedded systems based on various computer architectures and instruction set architectures (ISAs), including x86, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC. Numerous architectures and their variants are supported; Buildroot also comes with default configurations for several off-the-shelf available embedded boards, such as Cubieboard, Raspberry Pi and SheevaPlug. Several third-party projects and products use Buildroot as the basis for their build systems, including the OpenWrt project that creates an embedded operating system, and firmware for the customer-premises equipment (CPE) used by the Google Fiber broadband service. Multiple C standard libraries are supported as part of the toolchain, including the GNU C Library, uClibc and musl, as well as the C standard libraries that belong to various preconfigured development environments, such as those provided by Linaro. Buildroot's build configuration system internally uses Kconfig, which provides features such as a menu-driven interface, handling of dependencies, and contextual help; Kconfig is also used by the Linux kernel for its source-level configuration. Buildroot is organized around numerous automatically downloaded packages, which contain the source code of various userspace applications, system utilities, and libraries. Root file system images, which are the final results, may be built using various file systems, including cramfs, JFFS2, romfs, SquashFS and UBIFS. Buildroot is free and open-source software, maintained by Peter Korsgaard and licensed under version 2 or later of the GNU General Public License (GPL). The project started in 2001, with initial intentions to serve as a testbed for uClibc. New releases are made available every three months. (en)
- Buildroot ist ein Open-Source-Projekt, welches den Entwickler eines Linux-Systems dabei unterstützt, die notwendigen Pakete auszuwählen, zu konfigurieren und daraus ein Root-Filesystem zu erstellen. Dieses Paket besteht aus einer Sammlung von Skripten, welche die notwendigen Schritte bis zum gebrauchsfertigen Zielsystem abbilden. Die einzelnen Schritte sind weitgehend konfigurierbar und aufeinander abgestimmt. Das Paket vereinigt so gut wie alles, was der Entwickler benötigt, um ein uClibc-basiertes Linuxsystem zu entwickeln. OpenWrt Buildroot ist eine stark modifizierte Version und findet im OpenWrt-Projekt Anwendung. (de)
- Buildroot是一组Makefile和Patch文件，用来简化和自动化为嵌入式系统建造一个完整和可引导的Linux环境的过程，特别是在使用交叉编译来允许在单一的基于Linux的开发系统上为多个目标平台进行建造的时候。Buildroot可以自动建造所需要的交叉编译工具链，建立根文件系统，编译一个Linux内核映像，并为目标嵌入式系统生成引导装载器，它还可以进行这些独立步骤的任何组合。例如可以独立的使用已经安装好的交叉编译工具链，而只用Buildroot建立根文件系统。 (zh)
