Kernel default config file for Gingerbread

Chris Westervelt

The currently distributed default Android kernel config file is out of sync with menuconfig or xconfig. After setting the default, running xconfig/menuconfig shows the wrong processor and other settings that are in the default. Also, if you make a change or just save the config in either environment, a subsequent make will force you into the tect only config sequence. This was not a problem in the Froyo release as I used this quite a bit to port my kernel for my custom board.

Hi,

Maybe it is too obvious and easy to be true and to be a good advice but did you force Gingerbread build system to arm?

make ARCH=arm ..

Hi KW,

Yes,We use the following steps to configure TI Android kernel

  $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- distclean
  $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- omap3_evm_android_defconfig
  $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- menuconfig
  $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- uImage

Which commands did you try?

KW / Arun thank you. I have always gotten away in 2.6.34 non android and Froyo with just make xconfig. Your input did the trick!
