This sensor integration required I2C, which was added by modifying base-external/config_3.txt to include dtparam=i2c_arm=on After performing Buildroot Build-Time Config.txt Customization.

At start-up, the following modules are required to be installed modprobe i2c-dev modprobe i2c-bcm2835

This code was initially tested with Raspbian OS. And later the required packages were manually added to build root; bme280, RPi.bme280, and smbus2.

Later I was able to replicate the results on the buildroot image.
