The full-featured stock image may be too cumbersome for some applications. Applications that require faster bootup time or a smaller root filesystem will benefit greatly from using a lighter distribution like Buildroot. To assist customers heading down this path we have forked a stable snapshot of Buildroot (specifically 2018.02) and have added on top of it everything that is required for operation with one of our products. In order to provide consistency, the Buildroot image we provide and the default configuration are fairly large; but it includes a number of tools that are present on our stock image so that transitioning from one to the other is much easier. The Buildroot configuration could be customized to provide a much smaller footprint with a faster bootup time. Our current buildroot averages about 10 seconds of bootup time (much of this is spent on networking). Reducing the configuration can bring this time down to 5 seconds from power on to login prompt.
