Fhunleth: Removed the reference to my github repo for buildroot. All changes have been merged upstream and many improvements have been added, so people should go there instead.

 Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches that makes it easy to generate a complete embedded Linux system. Buildroot can generate any or all of a cross-compilation toolchain, a root filesystem, a kernel image and a bootloader image. Buildroot is useful mainly for people working with small or embedded systems, using various CPU architectures (x86, ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, etc.) : it automates the building process of your embedded system and eases the cross-compilation process.

 The mini-USB type-A OTG/device '''client-mode''' socket is multi-functional.  In addition to providing an alternative source of power, it gives access to an on-board front-end two-port USB client-side hub.  (This is not related to the separate '''host-mode''' USB socket described later).  One port of the hub goes directly to the '''USB0''' port of the TI AM3358/9 SoC, while the other port connects to a dual-port [http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/ICs/FT2232H.htm FTDI FT2232H] USB-to-serial converter to provide board-to-external-host serial communications and/or JTAG debugging. The BeagleBone's Linux serial console is available through this USB serial connection.
