Step-by-Step Guide to Building Root Filesystem with Buildroot

Step-by-Step Guide to Building Root Filesystem with Buildroot

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
