[Buildroot] How to upgrade Nodejs version on buildroot???

[Jonathan Ben Avraham]

Hi Hmidi,
There isn't any way to upgrade a Buildroot root filesystem or a particular 
package in a Buildroot filesystem. In the general case, you need to 
replace the entire filesystem. The reason for this is that Buildroot does 
not produce a "distribution", it only produces a hierarchy of directories 
containing files that are installed at the time you generate the 
filesystem. Buildroot does not have a package system that you can use to 
add or remove or upgrade a package after the filesystem is generated.

If you don't have the config file for the Buildroot filesystem that you 
are using, then your best option is to cross compile the nodejs version 
that you need and set the PREFIX and DESTDIR variables in the nodejs 
Makefile to somewhere under your home directory and then copy that 
directory into your current root filesystem, probably to /usr/local/.
Best regards,

  - yba
