Ok, submitted a v2.
Still needs the second PHP part as well.


However someone else would need to check and test the systemd change, as 
I am never having much luck getting systemd to just work with buildroot.
"Timed out waiting for device dev-console.device" this time and no login 
prompt.
"Dependency failed for Serial Getty on console"
And no easy way to login by SSH either, given "*** automatic network 
configuration via DHCP is not compatible with networkd ***"


Yours sincerely,
