===LMBench usage===

Select lmbench package in buildroot menuconfig, regenerate your rootfs and copy ROOTFS/usr/bin/lmbench dir to your NFS root export or to your MMC.
lmbench need a NFS link or the MMC to work as it needs a lot of storage place. For example:
 $ cp -r $HOME/armadeus/buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/root/usr/bin/lmbench /local/export/usr/bin/ 

On the target do:

 # cd /mnt/host/usr/bin/lmbench/scripts
The first time, configure the tests
 #  OS=armv5tejl-linux-gnu ./config-run
When asked, use in order:
 MULTIPLE COPIES [default 1] 1
 Job placement selection: 1
 MB [default ] 8
 SUBSET (ALL|HARWARE|OS|DEVELOPMENT) [default all] HARDWARE
 then default value (except for result mailing, choose no) except
 Processor mhz [default 189 MHz, 5.2910 nanosec clock] 192
 FSDIR [default /var/tmp] /mnt/host/
 Mail results [default yes] no
Then launch the test
 # OS=armv5tejl-linux-gnu ./results
Wait some time (1 hour ;-) )
Then parse the results file from your host (it requires Perl)
 $ cd NFSROOT/usr/bin/lmbench/scripts/
 $ ./getsummary ../results/armv5tejl-linux-gnu/armadeus.*
