The petitboot UI looks much nicer in a Unicode locale: * Items in the language selection submenu use multibyte Unicode characters. In other locales, they say "Unable to display text in this locale". * The combination of TERM=linux with a UTF-8 locale is required to trigger a special-case workaround in ncurses code[1]. Without this, line-drawing characters in the menu look like q's. Turn on wchar support in ncurses, and add a reminder that a UTF-8 locale should be generated for things to look right.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
