Buildroot currently has all of the needed packages to use Mender as the primary update system. However, there isn't any documentation or examples now that provide a starting point for users. This lack of documentation makes setting up a Mender based update system difficult and time-consuming. Provided in this patch series is a mender_x86_64_efi_defconfig of which sets up an x86_64 EFI based build that is ready to flash to a USB pen drive or use in a QEMU environment. The system partition schema comprises of two equally sized root partitions and a data partition that mounts to /var/lib/mender as a persistent data store partition. There is a board/mender/readme.txt provided, which gives users documentation on how to flash the built image or boot the image using QEMU as well. The post-build and post-image-efi scripts also have four options: -a --artifact-name: - The name of the artifact, this is added to /etc/mender/artifact_info -o --data-part-size: - The data partition size. -d --device-type - The device-type used by mender to catagorize registered devices.

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.
