The three main components of embedded systems: bootloader (uboot), Linux kernel, root filesystem. There are three powerful tools for creating root filesystems: busybox, buildroot, yocto. Using busybox to build the filesystem only helps us set up some common commands and files. Libraries, files in the /etc directory, etc., need to be created manually, and we … Read more
Scan and follow to learn embedded systems together, learn and grow together. Doing Linux system development primarily revolves around the root file system, as uboot and kernel are generally provided by the manufacturer, and drivers for peripherals are also provided officially, so the actual development work is minimal. The most challenging aspect of building the … Read more
Most of the work in Linux system development revolves around the root filesystem, as uboot and kernel are generally provided by the manufacturer, and drivers for peripherals are also provided by the official sources. The main development work is not extensive. The most challenging aspect of building the root filesystem is ensuring that the versions … Read more
1. Introduction I have been working with Freescale/NXP’s I.MX6 processor for over two years. As someone who initially played with MCUs, I faced many challenges. The most frustrating aspect was the official Yocto-based development environment, which required an enormous amount of space, specific versions of Ubuntu, and even the ability to bypass internet restrictions. Additionally, … Read more
Purpose of Building Qt Root Filesystem The purpose of building the Buildroot Qt root filesystem is to create a customized filesystem for embedded systems that integrates the Qt libraries and applications. Buildroot is an open-source tool for building embedded Linux systems, providing a simple and flexible way to generate a complete root filesystem image. By … Read more

Introduction to Buildroot Buildroot is a tool for automating the building of embedded Linux systems. Buildroot can generate cross-compilation toolchains, root filesystems, Linux kernel images, and bootloaders. Buildroot can be used independently with any combination of these options (for example, you can use an existing cross-compilation toolchain and only use Buildroot to build your root … Read more
