Buildroot

This Application Note shows how to use Buildroot to easily create a root file system for the AURA Evaluation Kit. It is worth remembering that Buildroot creates a root file system and is not a distribution system builder. Nevertheless, in some case its simple interface allows to rapidly build a root file system for starting Linux in the target (with many useful packages).
