[Buildroot] Interested in board support for BeagleV-Ahead

[Kilian Zinnecker]

Hello Robert,

thanks for all the information you provided so far! It is much appreciated!

However, I have to digest all of it, as I am not so familiar with a lot of 
thinks and I will ask some "stupid" questions ;)

Where exactly do I find kernel.org's x86_64-gcc-13.2.0-nolibc-riscv64-
linux.tar.xz toolchain? (Yes, my questions are that stupid ;)) Should I prefer 
it to the gcc 13.2 toolchain build by buildroot natively?

Yes, I saw the notes about the mirrors on github on the beagleboard gitlab 
page. I will use the mirrors!

Great, thanks! So this is then meant, that I can use it for myself to see that 
my board boots with this and I can also look what is done in the scripts, so 
that I can reproduce that in the buildroot board support?

Best regards,
Kilian
