Previously, the documentation only requested links to upstream commits when backporting patches. Based on a mailing list discussion [0], patches should, when possible and when approriate, provide a link as evidence that the patch has been submitted upstream. The motivation is that hopefully the patch gets applied to upstream at some point reducing the long term maintenance burden within Buildroot. This also makes future patch review on subsequent package version bumps more streamlined. For patches that are unique to BR and do not apply to the upstream repository, patches should have a comment explaining why they do not apply upstream.

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 OFTC IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
