################################## # Introduction ################################## Using config fragments in the Linux kernel is a supported model in the Linux kernel main line. TI has taken advantage of this model to be able to take a base defconfig and add or remove configuration flags based contained within a config fragment. This allows the base defconfig to be left in tact and helps facilitate and understanding of what config flags can be enabled or disabled. The config fragments drastically reduces the number of merge conflicts when the Linux stable dot release (LTS) is merged back to the integration point as well as merges for TI domain trees. But alas this creates another issue as with the config fragments there is no direct defconfig for customers to build just many, many, many options. Therefore the defconfig_builder script was derived to take a defconfig map file and present a command line interface to the customer to to create a standard defconfig based off the TI integration branches. The customer is walked through steps and if successful a defconfig will be created in the arch/arm/configs directory that can be built. ################################## # Usage ################################## There is only one option for this script. This option defines the working path to where the Linux kernel resides. -w - Location of the TI Linux kernel Command line Example if building from the working Linux kernel top level directory: ti_config_fragments/defconfig_builder.sh -w . Command line Example if building from the ti_config_fragments directory: defconfig_builder.sh -w ../. ################################## # Defconfig Map File ################################## The defconfig map file contains the mapping of the defconfig options and the assembly instructions for the defconfig to be created. The file contains keywords and all are *required* to be filled out. processor: - Defines the processor type if the defconfig is to be processor specific type: - Defines the type of build. Like debug build, LSK build or RT build defconfig: - Defines the base defconfig config to append the config fragments to config_file: - Defines a file that contains a list of config fragments. If there is not a list then declare "None" for this field. extra_configs: - These are individual config fragments that can be appended to the defconfig by themselves or in addition to the config_file. Example: This is an example of an AM335x entry that will create a defconfig only for AM335x processors, based on the omap2plus_defconfig. The defconfig_fragment file adds features that have been enabled in the TI integrated kernel. The extra_configs will add in the debug options as well as undefine all processors that are not AM335x. processor: AM33xx type: am335x_debug_only defconfig: omap2plus_defconfig config_file: defconfig_fragment extra_configs: ti_config_fragments/debug_options.cfg ti_config_fragments/am33xx_only.cfg ################################## # Defconfig Mapping ################################## #Processor Specific Defconfig options These defconfig options enable the Linux kernel for the targer processor only. Other processor platforms are disabled. The base for each of these defconfigs is the omap2plus_defconfig contained in the arch/arm/configs directory of the kernel.
