The manual is GPL-2, and points to the COPYING file in the repository. When we do a rendering of the manual for a specific version, that URL is currently always poitning to the latest version of the COPYING file. If we ever have to change the content of that file (e.g. to add a new exception, more clarifications, a license change, or whatever), then an old manual would point to that newer version, which would then be incorrect. Include the sha1 of the commit in the URL, so that the manual always point to the tree at the time the manual was rendered, not the time it is consulted. Contrary to the informative text above, use the full sha1, not the shortened one. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

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
