Extend the linux-tools package to also build the userspace USB tools, which currently include testusb and ffs-test. These tools are in the kernel tree since a long time, and althogh a Makefile had been present since kernel 2.6.39, it has been entirely rewritten (with an install rule) back with kernel 5.9, to allow building the same way as other tools provided with the kernel. We make use of the Makefile install rule, thus version >= 5.9 is required. Support for older kernels may be added later if needed, and is left as an exercise for the motivated party.

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.
