I am building a Custom OS using Buildroot. I am following this article to build the custom os.

Author of that article gave a sample image of the os that will be created after the build is completed. I downloaded the Os image and flashed it on the SD card, in that case, I was able to load the ethernet interface for Raspberry Pi.

But When I started to build using the jumpnow_rpi3_defconfig given by the author using buildroot tool for Raspberry Pi I am unable to load the ethernet interface.

Steps I have followed are =>

git clone -b jumpnow https://github.com/jumpnow/buildroot
cd buildroot
make jumpnow_rpi3_defconfig
make

Booting logs related to Ethernet Interface =>
