The Buildroot manual was already providing some details on how to integrate Cargo packages, and those details now need to be updated with a proper documentation for the cargo-package infrastructure, as well as updates related to vendoring support, which affects how dependencies are handled. In addition, now that we have vendoring support for Cargo packages, let's rewrite the dependency management section in a more accurate way. We drop the part about the local cache of the registry, because +CARGO_HOME+ in Buildroot points to $(HOST_DIR)/share/cargo, which is not shared between builds nor preserved accross builds, so its effect as a cache is limited.

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.
