Buildroot External

The repository contains experimental out-of-tree extensions of Buildroot to provide reliable support of boards with FPGAs that are running Linux. The supported boards are Zedboard (Avnet) and SoCrates (EBV) and Altera SoC Development Kit. The extensions are intended to build at least a Linux Kernel, root filesystem (an in-memory image loaded by U-Boot or a tar archive useful for NFS booting) and an appropriate device tree. Each build usually provides a working U-Boot binary.

The extensions are tested against rehivetech branch of Buildroot.

Build for zedboard:

$ git clone https://github.com/RehiveTech/buildroot.git
$ git clone https://github.com/RehiveTech/buildroot-external.git
$ make -C buildroot O=`pwd`/zedboard BR2_EXTERNAL=`pwd`/buildroot-external zedboard_defconfig
$ cd zedboard
$ make
