3.1.4.1 Get Sources

To get the source code, clone the buildroot-at91 and buildroot-external-microchip repositories using the following steps:

  1. Clone the buildroot-at91 repository by using the following command:
    $ git clone https://github.com/linux4sam/buildroot-at91.git
  2. Clone the buildroot-external-microchip repository by using the following command:
    $ git clone https://github.com/linux4sam/buildroot-external-microchip.git
    Note:
    • The source code is taken from the host branch which is pointing to the latest version of buildroot-at91 and buildroot-external-microchip. The advice is to use linux4sam tags to make sure there is no mismatch between the versions of the two repositories.
    • The buildroot tag used for testing in this document is linux4sam_6.2
