RPI 4 and creation of scripts from buildroot

Question

I want to know if it is possible to allow my system created by buildroot, to automate the execution of script which would allow for example,

to switch from qwerty to azerty (maybe this option exists in buildroot but I did not find it)
clone projects in a specific folder
to execute services
...

All this without having to modify anything on the system at startup.

Thanks in advance for your precious help.

it is unclear what you are asking ... a linux system can do whatever you program it to do ... for example, it already starts services at bootup time — jsotola, Jun 28 at 14:36
Ditto that this would be better off on U&L or SO (~1500 questions tagged buildroot). This looks to be about configuring the system before it is run (and/or adding a service to do initial configuration at first boot), which might be better off done outside buildroot once the root fs is created. — goldilocks, Jun 28 at 16:32

to switch from qwerty to azerty

to execute services

You can add a script to /etc/init.d in the rootfs overlay (BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY).

clone projects in a specific folder

This can be done in the post build script (BR2_ROOTFS_POST_BUILD_SCRIPT).
