Honored Contributor1. the cross gcc built by buildroot run much faster than IDE/cygwin. You will feel IDE move like turtle after using builtroot tools.
2. the cross gcc is default to uClibc/uClinux, instead of the newlib as IDE. It is easier to build or port apps. 3. the initramfs is much better than the mtd/romfs/ramdisk. it is easier to work on a custom board. 4. sync up to the latest kernel/uClibc/busybox 5. there is a good reading. you will understand the points from it.
