Buildroot Snapshots

Stable Snapshots of Buildroot and the Linux kernel

THIS PAGE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. PLEASE TUNE IN LATER.

This page describes how to download a specific snapshot of sources that have been tested to work together, as well as associated links to build documentation that matched those snapshots.

(If you want the latest sources instead, please refer to the latest Buildroot_Build_Instructions.)

First select the desired snapshot from the first table. Then follow the subsequent instructions to access that snapshot.

List of Snapshots

Downloading Sources

First create a work area directory on a disk with at least 4 GB available space.

The following creates and populates the <workdir>/<bdir> directory with revision <brev> of the buildroot source tree, and the <workdir>/<kdir> directory with git commit <kcommit> of the Linux source tree from git repository <krepos>:

  $ cd <workdir>
  $ svn co -r <brev> svn://linux-xtensa.org/var/svn/repos/buildroot/trunk <bdir>
  $ git clone git://git.linux-xtensa.org/kernel/<krepos> <kdir>
  $ git checkout <kcommit>

For example, to download buildroot sources (rev 59) in /mnt/workarea/buildroot and Linux source (git commit 7554d0b953a2 from the xtensa-2.6.24 repository) in /mnt/workarea/linux, you can do this (assuming /mnt/workarea exists and is empty):

  $ cd /mnt/workarea
  $ svn co -r 59 svn://linux-xtensa.org/var/svn/repos/buildroot/trunk buildroot
  $ git clone git://git.linux-xtensa.org/kernel/xtensa-2.6.24 linux
  $ git checkout 7554d0b953a2
