These tools use new gpio ABI which will deprecate sysfs gpio interface in the future. These tools are available only from kernel version 4.8. config BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS_IIO bool "iio" select BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS help iio is a collection of tools to get information about, control and monitor iio devices present on system. These tools are available only from kernel version 4.7. config BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS_PCI bool "pci" select BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS help pcitest is a tool for testing capabilities related to a PCI Endpoint (only works with specific Endpoints). These tools are available only from kernel version 4.20. config BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS_PERF bool "perf" select BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS help perf (sometimes "Perf Events" or perf tools, originally "Performance Counters for Linux") - is a performance analyzing tool in Linux, available from kernel version 2.6.31. User-space controlling utility, called 'perf' has git-like interface with subcommands. It is capable of statistical profiling of entire system (both kernel and user code), single CPU or severals threads. This will build and install the userspace 'perf' command. Your kernel must have CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS enabled to use perf profiling. Buildroot automatically enables this in the kernel configuration. https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/ if BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS_PERF config BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS_PERF_TUI bool "enable perf TUI" depends on BR2_USE_MMU # slang select BR2_PACKAGE_SLANG help Enable the TUI interface for perf which requires a TTY and enables zooming into DSOs and threads as well as other features. endif config BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS_SELFTESTS bool"selftests" depends on BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS # bash depends on BR2_USE_MMU # bash select BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS select BR2_PACKAGE_BASH # runtime select BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES select BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_TARGET_PROGS # runtime (tput) select BR2_PACKAGE_KMOD select BR2_PACKAGE_KMOD_TOOLS # runtime (modprobe -n) select BR2_PACKAGE_POPT select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCAP_NG select BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX select BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_SCHEDUTILS # runtime (taskset) help Build and install (to /usr/lib/kselftests) kernel selftests. Use of this option implies you know the process of using and compiling the kernel selftests. The Makefile to build and install these is very noisy and may appear to cause your build to fail for strange reasons. This is very much a use at your risk option and may not work for every setup or every architecture. comment "selftests needs BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS" depends on BR2_USE_MMU depends on !BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS config BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS_TMON bool "tmon" select BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS select BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES help tmon is a terminal-based tool (using curses) that allows the user to access thermal information about the system. endmenu
