Having a host variant of dtc is needed for example for U-Boot, which
uses the Device Tree for a number of platforms.
In addition, now that we have a proper host-dtc package, it is no
longer needed for the linux package to install the host dtc compiler:
users interested in having the host dtc compiler can simply enable
this package.
A Config.in.host option is added to build host-dtc, because the
initial reason why the host DTC built by the kernel was installed in
$(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin (commit 707d44d0a2
from Thomas DS) was:
Having dtc as a host tool can be useful for users that have a
custom boot scenario where the device tree is not embedded in the
kernel.
[Thomas:
- rework the commit log.]
[Peter: keep the (renamed) linux version]

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 Freenode IRC.
