 ### Configure and build
 
 Go to the Buildroot directory:
 
 ```bash

+$ cd buildroot-external-st/buildroot/
 ```
 
 And then, configure the system you want to build by using one of the 14
 *defconfigs* provided in this `BR2_EXTERNAL` tree. For example:
 
 ```bash
-buildroot/ $ make BR2_EXTERNAL=../buildroot-external-st st_stm32mp157f_dk2_defconfig
+buildroot/ $ make BR2_EXTERNAL=.. st_stm32mp157f_dk2_defconfig
 ```
