When dealing with embedded devices, storage is more often than not some kind of flash device, on which the memory is usually counted as powers of 1024 instead of powers of 1000. As such, people may prefer reports using IEC prefixes [0] instead of the SI prefixes. Add an option to that effect. We use argparse's ability to use custom actions [1] [2], to provide a set of options that act on a boolean, but has a single help entry and internally ensures consistency of the settings. We could have been using the more conventional store_true/store_false actions instead, but that would have meant either two help entries, one for each set of options, and/or some logic after parse_args() to check the validity of the settings.

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
