Attempting to compile this package with newer Kernel version (e.g. v5.4) fails with message: Generating local configuration database from kernel ...Kernel version parse failed! Upgrading the package to 5.8 fixes this issue. Anyways, v4.4 is now rather old and beat the very purpose of having newer drivers in older kernels. Since backports tag v4.14-rc4-1, the requirement on minimal kernel version changed from 3.0 to 3.10. See commit [1]. The minimal kernel version check is changed accordingly. License files are also updated: the linux backports package copies the license files from the kernel version used for its generation. v5.8 is now "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note". However, there is no such SPDX identifier (contrary to what is said in the COPYING file), so we keep it as GPL-2.0 (which also keeps it aligned to what we have in linux.mk).

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
