I agree. One example of a good thing you will benefit from being part
of the wider Buildroot community is for example our autobuilder
infrastructure. It tests which packages are building properly or not
building properly, and ultimately helps in improving Buildroot's
quality and therefore the user experience. Our autobuilders are already
regularly building Blackfin configurations.

Sonic e-mails have the Buildroot list in Cc. I'm not sure why they
don't make it to the list. Probably because he is posting with his
@analog.com address, while he is subscribed with an @gmail.com address
on the Buildroot list.

Best regards,

Thomas
