Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use embedded Linux build 
system. It can generate a cross-compilation toolchain, a Linux kernel 
image, bootloader images and more importantly a root filesystem 
image with many userspace libraries and programs. Based on 
cross-compilation, Buildroot supports more than 1000 userspace packages,
including GStreamer, X.org, Qt, Gtk and more.

Used by Google, 
many SoC vendors, and numerous embedded systems makers, Buildroot is 
backed by a strong and active open-source community, that publishes 
stable releases every three months.

Through this talk, we would 
like to share a little introduction on how to use Buildroot, and then 
cover the new important features and improvements that have been 
implemented during the last two years. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/embedded-linux-conference-europe/program/schedule
