+=== Generating CycloneDX SBOM
+
+Based on the output of +show-info+ Buildroot can generate a SBOM in
+the CycloneDX format. While it doesn't offer any additional
+information, CycloneDX is a format specification that can be consumed
+by other projects.
+
+----
+make show-info | utils/generate-cyclonedx
+----
+
+For more information check the help of the +generate-cyclonedx+ script, the
+script call can be tailored to your project.
+
+----
+utils/generate-cyclonedx --help
+----
+
+Similarly to +pkg-stats+, CycloneDX SBOM's can be enriched with vulnerability
+analysis from the NVD database.
+
+----
+make show | utils/generate-cyclonedx > sbom.cdx.json
+cat sbom.cdx.json | support/scripts/cve-check --nvd-path dl/buildroot-nvd/
