Sometimes, it is need to quickly get the metadata of a subset of
packages, without resorting to a full-blown JSON query.
Introduce a new per-package (and per-filesystem) foo-show-info rule,
that otputs a per-entity valid JSON blob.
Note that calling it for multiple packages and.or filesystems at once
will not generate a valid JSON blob, as there would be no separator
between the JSON elements:
$ make {foo,bar}-show-info
{ "foo": { foo stuff } }
{ "bar": { bar stuff } }
However, jq is able to absorb this, with its slurping ability, which
generates an array (ellipsed and manualy reformated for readability):
$ make {foo,bar}-show-info |jq -s . -
[
{ "foo": { foo stuff } },
{ "bar": { bar stuff } }
]

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. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
