- Bump kernel to version 5.11.16. We remove the hardcoded ttyAMA0 and rely on the firmware to discover our console. This enables serial console on systems, which do not have an Arm pl011 UART. We switch to GPT disklabel and discover our root filesystem using its PARTLABEL. This enables booting from more media, such as HDD, SD card or USB. We update the readme, which hinted that ACPI was mandatory. This is not strictly the case as we can also boot with a dtb and/or a U-Boot based firmware, with no ACPI. While at it, mention EBBR, SystemReady and explain how to build and use a U-Boot-based qemu firmware.

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.
