 sudo apt-get install git build-essential fakeroot libncurses5-dev libssl-dev ccache
 sudo apt-get install dfu-util u-boot-tools device-tree-compiler libssl1.0-dev mtools
 sudo apt-get install bc python cpio zip unzip rsync file wget

 cd plutosdr-fw
 export VIVADO_SETTINGS=/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2021.2/settings64.sh
 make

Due to incompatibility between the AMD/Xilinx GCC toolchain supplied with Vivado/Vitis and Buildroot. This project switched to Buildroot external Toolchain: Linaro GCC 7.3-2018.05 7.3.1

https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.3-2018.05/arm-linux-gnueabihf/

This toolchain is used to build: Buildroot, Linux and u-boot

"error "timeout while establishing a connection with SDK"" (procedure "getsdkchan" line 108) invoked from within "getsdkchan" (procedure "createhw" line 26) invoked from within "createhw {*}$args" (procedure "::sdk::create_hw_project" line 3) invoked from within "sdk create_hw_project -name hw_0 -hwspec build/system_top.hdf" (file "scripts/create_fsbl_project.tcl" line 5)

you may be able to work around it by preventing eclipse from using GTK3 for the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT). Prior to running make, also set the following environment variable: 
```bash
export SWT_GTK3=0

This problem seems to affect Ubuntu 16.04LTS only.
