Buildroot boards use a mixture of the GPT Partition Type "L" (generic
Linux filesystem) and "root-x86", "root-arm", etc (UAPI Root
Filesystem) for root filesystem partitions.
To have consistent guidance on building disk images with genimage,
update the docs to recommend using the UAPI Root Filesystem types. The
UAPI Root Filesystem types are part of the UAPI Discoverable Partitions
Specification (DPS) which helps set a wider standard for system boot.

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 https://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.
