Embedded Linux build systems

Buildroot

• use an external layer, don’t forget to set the env variable before make my_defconfig
• build images with genimage and sign in post-image.sh
• generate configs image with in-fakeroot.sh (why? I don’t remember)
• create patches with quilt
• can have multiple rootfs_overlays, use a common base for multiple boards

override built-in package build steps in external.mk
