| == Getting Buildroot |
| |
| Buildroot releases are made every 3 months, in February, May, August and |
| November. Release numbers are in the format YYYY.MM, so for example |
| 2013.02, 2014.08. |
| |
| Release tarballs are available at http://buildroot.org/downloads/[]. |
| |
| For your convenience, a https://www.vagrantup.com/[Vagrantfile] is |
| available in `support/misc/Vagrantfile` in the Buildroot source tree |
| to quickly set up a virtual machine with the needed dependencies to |
| get started. |
| |
| If you want to setup an isolated buildroot environment on Linux or Mac |
| Os X, paste this line onto your terminal: |
| |
| -------------------- |
| curl -O https://buildroot.org/downloads/Vagrantfile; vagrant up |
| -------------------- |
| |
| If you are on Windows, paste this into your powershell: |
| |
| -------------------- |
| (new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile( |
| "https://buildroot.org/downloads/Vagrantfile","Vagrantfile"); |
| vagrant up |
| -------------------- |
| |
| If you want to follow development, you can use the daily snapshots or |
| make a clone of the Git repository. Refer to the |
| http://buildroot.org/download[Download page] of the Buildroot website |
| for more details. |
