efivar only makes sense on platforms that support UEFI. UEFI is only supported by some architectures at the moment, being mostly employed on platforms such as x86, x86_64 and aarch64. Some other platforms such as MIPS and PowerPC may have some unofficial UEFI support. UEFI is also limited to little endian architectures. efivar was being supported in Buildroot without architecture restrictions so far, however this has led to the creation of a number of hacks in the recipes, mostly for architectures that are not supported by UEFI. In order to avoid spending more time to debug these failures and maintaining more hacks for unsupported architectures, efivar can be restricted to that platforms where it makes sense and where it is more likely to receive some testing and actual usage. The existing hacks for the now unsupported architectures are removed, and the dependency is propagated to efibootmgr as it depends on efivar.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
