I decided that since the Espressobin board is not loading the buildroot as expected I would build the OS myself to try and identify if the Getting Started guides have any additional challenges. I discovered that that build itself is missing mandatory dependencies it pulls during the compile. Here is a snapshot of the error:

As you can see by the terminal snapshot one of the dependencies is being reported as Gone and the other is 404.
Has anyone been able to successfully build the buildroot OS, if so how did you overcome these errors?
Thanks,
Matt
