>In after a brief discussion, it was patch series proposed by IBM employee Alexander Egorenkov, which adds support for . Several recent generations of devices are supported: z13 (2015), z14 (2017), and z15 (2019). When asked about the use of Buildroot within IBM, it was , that the image is used to build test environments, specifically .
Buildroot is a build system from source for a complete Linux environment, developed with an eye toward use in embedded systems. The strong points of Buildroot include optimization for creating compact images (a typical image occupies several megabytes), support for about 20 different processor architectures, and ease of cross-compilation (often requiring just three commands — git clone/make nconfig/make).
The system contains over two thousand ready-to-use packages, and new applications that use standard build systems (make/autotools/cmake) can be easily added.
As a standard library, uclibc, musl, or glibc may be used.
IBM Z is a series of mainframes, formerly known as IBM eServer zSeries, the successor to IBM System/390 (the first model was released in 1990). Today, such a mainframe features hundreds of high-frequency (4-5 GHz) processor cores and tens of terabytes of RAM.
