I successfuly used Buildroot 2011.05 in a previous project using Orocos
2.3.1 on an ARM Cortex-A9 board. I patched buildroot to support the
required packages (boost, omniorb, orocos-log4cpp, orocos-rtt, orocos-ocl,
etc.). You can find the patched version in the "2011.05-sm" branch
available on my github account (
https://github.com/phamelin/buildroot/tree/2011.05-sm). You will have to
modify the scripts since the source packages were retrieved from a private
server. As I remember, the whole operating system including Orocos was
fitting on a 32 Mb SD card.
