Due to incompatibility between the AMD/Xilinx GCC toolchain supplied with Vivado/Vitis and Buildroot, this project uses the Buildroot external toolchain infrastructure with the Arm GNU toolchain (arm-none-linux-gnueabihf), which is downloaded and set up automatically during the build.
This toolchain is used to build: Buildroot, Linux and u-boot
