== Project-specific customization
Typical actions you may need to perform for a given project are:
- configuring Buildroot (including build options and toolchain,
bootloader, kernel, package and filesystem image type selection)
- configuring other components, like the Linux kernel and BusyBox
- adding project-specific patches to some packages (using
+BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR+)
- adding or overwriting files on the target filesystem (using
+BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY+)
- modifying or deleting files on the target filesystem (using
+BR2_ROOTFS_POST_BUILD_SCRIPT+)
- running arbitrary commands prior to generating the filesystem image
(using +BR2_ROOTFS_POST_BUILD_SCRIPT+)
- running arbitrary commands after generating the filesystem image
(using +BR2_ROOTFS_POST_IMAGE_SCRIPT+)
- adding project-specific packages
This chapter describes how to make such project-specific customizations
in Buildroot and how to store them in a way that you can build the same
image in a reproducible way, even after running 'make clean'. By
following the recommended strategy, you can even use the same Buildroot
tree to build multiple distinct projects!
