Buildroot: What's New?
summary
Buildroot generates complete embedded Linux images, ships 2,300+ packages, and issues three-month releases with one year of LTS maintenance per release. It builds internal and external toolchains, adds musl and LTO support, offers prebuilt toolchains (~180), and produces mostly-relocatable SDKs. CI runs random package/toolchain combos, runtime QEMU tests catch regressions, per-package hashes verify downloads, and parallel top-level build and full reproducible images remain work-in-progress but show clear time and QA benefits.
