Atmel is using Buildroot as one component of the official BSP for their
AT91 evaluation boards :
 http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/BuildRoot
 (but the version they are using is very, very old)

Atmel is also using Buildroot for their AVR32 evaluation boards :
 http://www.atmel.no/buildroot/

Calao Systems <http://www.calao-systems.com> (maker of AT91-based
boards and soon OMAP3530-based boards) is using Buildroot for their
boards as well.

Armadeus <http://www.armadeus.org> (maker of Freescale iMX-based
boards, coming with a FPGA) is using Buildroot for their boards.

Tensilica, makers of the Xtensa CPU architecture, is also using
Buildroot, see http://wiki.linux-xtensa.org/index.php/Main_Page and
http://wiki.linux-xtensa.org/index.php/Buildroot_Build_Instructions.

Simtec (http://www.simtec.co.uk/products/SWBUILDROOT/) seems to also be
using Buildroot.

And then there are lots of companies using Buildroot to generate their
embedded Linux system, but do not say publicly anything about this. For
example, several of our customers do use Buildroot for things like
digital television converters, fitness devices, GPS-tracking devices
and many other things.
