[Buildroot] Problem with device tree

[DTrustee]

The exact instructions to download buildroot gets the most recent 
version which is how I started. Next step was to git checkout -b bootlin 
2022.02 but that does not work as I get:

fatal: '2022.02' is not a commit and a branch 'bootlin' cannot be 
created from it

So I cloned: git clone https://github.com/bootlin/buildroot which I 
think is the repository for the training. However that is lacking the 
output directory so make menuconfig fails. When I go to 
https://github.com/bootlin/buildroot sure enough there is no output 
directory.

How does one go about learning buildroot, the latest version, for the 
Beaglebone Black (or any other board for that matter)? I am reading the 
buildroot manual but it is not exactly a tutorial. Is it mostly trial 
and error until you figure it out?

Have a Blessed day!
