As an alternative to using the latest source files from GIT and Subversion, you can use one of the snapshot bundles available on the [http://www.linux-xtensa.org/download.html download page].  These snapshots include versions of the Linux kernel and the Buildroot files that have been tested to work together, as well as associated build documentation that matches those snapshots.
 
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.

== 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

Stable Snapshots of Buildroot and the Linux kernel

As an alternative to using the latest source files from GIT and Subversion, you can use one of the snapshot bundles available on the download page. These snapshots include versions of the Linux kernel and the Buildroot files that have been tested to work together, as well as associated build documentation that matches those snapshots.

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