[edit] How to create a custom kernel using buildroot

Buildroot is a series of scripts that run in a Linux environment which allow you to set different options and then automatically compile a new kernel for the AVR32 or other platforms.

A new kernel may be needed to access latest interfaces or enjoy a bugfix or for a variety of reasons. Buildroot also allows you to customise what is included in your custom kernel.

Everything buildroot does could be completed by a manual process of obtaining source files and compiling and applying patches. Buildroot assists by automating several steps need to create a new kernel.
