title: Is it possible to use current Buildroot for Raspberry Pi 2
body: <p><a href="http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/board/raspberrypi/readme.txt" rel="nofollow">http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/board/raspberrypi/readme.txt</a> states the following — where the last line is the interesting one:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The raspberrypi_defconfig configuration is a minimal configuration
    with all that is required to bring the Raspberry Pi up. You should
    base your work on this defconfig:</p>
    
    <p>$ make raspberrypi_defconfig</p>
    
    <p>Alternatively, if you want to test support for the Device Tree:</p>
    
    <p>$ make raspberrypi_dt_defconfig</p>
    
    <p>For Raspberry Pi 2 use a different defconfig:</p>
    
    <p>$ make raspberrypi2_defconfig</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is that raspberrypi2_defconfig <strong>required</strong> to use buildroot on an Raspberry Pi 2, or does it just contain RPi2 optimizations? The reason why I'm asking is that I don't find that configuration in the latest stable version of Buildroot, and the current git version abort the build with an</p>
