How to Run menuconfig While Preserving Existing .config Options

smh123

Context: OMAPL-138 experimenter's kit, SDVK 4

How can I run menuconfig and change an option in the .config file while preserving all other options? 

I run $DVSDK> make linux

This builds a good .config file for the ARM system.  Next, I want to adjust just one option (I changed the LOGO option, but it is irrelevant which one is modified). I do this by running $DVSDK/psp/linux2.6xxxxx/> make menuconfig 

I change an option and save. My expectation is that the old .config will be used and that ONLY the mods I make will be written to the file. However, this is not what happens. The new .config file is COMPLETELY different. It ends up being for an x86 system. What am I doing wrong here?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

    hi,

     It seems as though you have not included the architecture and cross compiler options while  creating the config file and also menuconfig.

      Look at this example:-

              make clean distclean

              make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- davinci_all_defconfig

             make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- menuconfig

    This is how you  have to mention the architecture and cross compiler options.

    Can also refer to this,
