1 This directory contains various useful scripts and tools for working
2 with Buildroot. You need not add this directory in your PATH to use
3 any of those tools, but you may do so if you want.
6 a script that can be run instead of make, that prepends the date in
7 front of each line, redirects all of the build output to a file
8 ("'br.log' in the current directory), and just outputs the Buildroot
9 messages (those lines starting with >>>) on stdout.
10 Do not run this script for interactive configuration (e.g. menuconfig)
11 or on an unconfigured directory. The output is redirected so you will see
15 a script that checks the coding style across the buildroot tree. It
16 checks package's Config.in and .mk files, runs shellcheck for all shell
17 scripts, flake8 for python files, checks for typoes, etc.
18 It checks the .checkpackageignore file if errors should be ignored and
19 errors if there's a file listed that doesn't produce an error.
22 a script that runs a command (like make check-package) inside the
23 buildroot CI docker container; pass no command to get an interactive
27 a script that generates a random configuration, used by the autobuilders
28 (http://autobuild.buildroot.org). It selects a random toolchain from
29 support/config-fragments/autobuild and randomly selects packages to build.
32 a script to return the list of people interested in a specific part
33 of Buildroot, so they can be Cc:ed on a mail. Accepts a patch as
34 input, a package name or and architecture name.
37 a script to create a Buildroot package by scanning a CPAN module
41 a script to create a Buildroot package by scanning a PyPI package
45 a script to compare the rootfs size between two different Buildroot
46 configurations. This can be used to identify the size impact of
47 a specific option, of a set of specific options, or of an update
48 to a newer Buildroot version...
51 a script that tests a specific package against a set of various
52 toolchains, with the goal to detect toolchain-related dependencies
