As discussed on the BR developer meeting at FOSDEM, the README should be very short and instead refer to other documentation: the manual, the website, the mailing list, the IRC channel.

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!
|
|
|
|
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.
