  • buildroot

    Tesla's buildroot repository (by teslamotors)

    Yeah, the SpaceX and Tesla software stacks for their firmware are similar in a lot of ways, they both heavily use buildroot(https://buildroot.org/) for at least a good bit of their Linux based firmware, good luck getting proper GPL source from them though, Tesla last I checked at least made some effort to publish what appears to be incomplete buildroot source code(https://github.com/teslamotors/buildroot).

    SpaceX just inaccurately claims "Because we are not distributing buildroot, we are not legally required to distribute the source code under the GPLv2 license." then ignores you even though they very obviously distribute buildroot based firmware to customers as it's used in the Starlink Dishy antenna(I asked for their buildroot source and have a Dishy antenna, that was their response...and to top it off I'm even a major buildroot contributor). They def have a bunch of cool tech but are super secretive about everything it seems, they don't appear to ever upstream patches or interact with outside software developers.

  • buildroot

    Buildroot, making embedded Linux easy. Note that this is not the official repository, but only a mirror. The official Git repository is at http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/. Do not open issues or file pull requests here.
