    106Using a buildroot rootfs is extremely useful for:
    11  * small fast booting self-contained systems (the default busybox rootfs is typically ~1.5MB)
    12  * kernel development (using [#initrd initrd] or [#initramfs initramfs] options
    13  * using its toolchain externally
    14 
    15 suggested tools to include for kernel development:
     7 * Small fast booting self-contained systems (the default busybox rootfs is typically ~1.5MB)
     8 * Kernel development (using [#initrd initrd] or [#initramfs initramfs] options)
     9 * Using its toolchain externally
     10
     11'''Note''' that Buildroot requires all packages to be installed at the time of building. There is not a package manager like many other distributions have (like [wiki:ubuntu Ubuntu], such as apt-get to quickly install pre-compiled package binaries.

    540541Note that if you require support for SWUpdate to complete an install that isn't already there (for example you want to add the capability to update GSC firmware via the gsc_update utility) you will either need to a) add a static linked version of that tool to your image or b) do a 2-stage update where you add the required tools first, then use them in a future update
