Alternatively, if you want to test support for the Device Tree:

If you want to use a persistent rootfs, skip to "Build the rootfs", below.
For a volatile rootfs, you have to slightly adjust the configuration:

"tar the root filesystem" option selected in "Filesystem images".

Buildroot to install the DTBs from the rpi-firmware package, and
will only be used if your kernel has support for the Device Tree.
Prepare you SDCard

At the root of the boot partition, the RaspberryPi must find the following
files:
* bcm2708-rpi-b.dtb [2]
* bcm2708-rpi-b-plus.dtb [2]
* bootcode.bin
* config.txt
* fixup.dat
* start.elf
* zImage
[2] Only needed if your kernel has support for the Device Tree.
For example:
$ cp output/images/rpi-firmware/* /mnt/mountpointboot
If your kernel does *not* have support for the Device Tree, then install
it with:
$ cp output/images/zImage /mnt/mountpointboot
If your kernel *does* have support for the Device Tree, then install it
with:
$ ./output/host/usr/bin/mkknlimg output/images/zImage /mnt/mountpointboot/zImage
Note: The kernel image file name is defined in config.txt like this:
kernel=zImage
