The Buildroot user manual
https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.htmlBuildroot has always been capable of using parallel build on a per package basis: each package is built by Buildroot using make -jN (or the equivalent invocation for non-make-based build systems). The level of parallelism is by default number of CPUs + 1, but it can be adjusted using the BR2_JLEVEL configuration option.
