Buildroot for AT91SAM9261_EK

It is the first time for Max to play Buildroot. Hopefully, it's not the last time.
The target system is an evaluation board of ATMEL "AT91SAM9261_EK". Buildroot tools will generate following things for the target system.

• Customizing the target filesystem
• Customizing the Busybox
• Customizing the uClibc
• Customizing the packages
  
• HelloWorld Project
• ....
  

In a word, a brand new system for target board.

Ok!Ok! I lied. It is not so easy. Usually you need do something more. You need to download some necessary packages. Can you handle it yourself? Tell me "yes, yes, yes". Only one nasty thing you may encounter is the failures of some sanity tests. See this page for the solution. The most problems occurs in the first 2 minutes. Afterwords, you can take a coffee and chat with your friends.

Till now, the building has not yet finish. Max's host system is debian Lenny at VM. It will take sometime. To be continued....
