Basically you have the choice of :
* Generating your system with Buildroot, then manually build EtherCAT
outside of Buildroot using the Buildroot cross-compiler and the
kernel built by Buildroot. Advantages: I don't see any, except maybe
the fact that you don't need to learn out to create packages in
Buildroot. Drawbacks: it might actually be *harder* to achieve than
to create a package in Buildroot, and your build process is no
longer nicely integrated.
* Add a package in Buildroot. Requires learning a bit about how to
create packages (but our documentation on this is quite good I
think, and the Buildroot source tree is full of examples). In the
end, it might be simpler to package your software component than
building it manually, and you have the benefit of having it nicely
integrated.
