I was looking at the Yocto Development Manual (Latest), section
4.6.2. Creating Config Fragments. I was confused about the file
statement and the naming of the directory to locate the fragment file
until I found a similar discussion in the BSP Guide (lastest) section
1.2.10. Linux Kernel Configuration.
The section there is much more understandable. I think we need to
modify the development manual or have it point to the BSP manual. The
text from there (below) I think is better. I still think it's confusing
about the naming of the subdirectory where the myconfig goes. Maybe a
complete example would be good.
For example, suppose you had a set of configuration options in a
file called |myconfig|. If you put that file inside a directory
named |linux-yocto| and then added a |SRC_URI| statement such as the
following to the append file, those configuration options will be
picked up and applied when the kernel is built.
SRC_URI += "file://myconfig"
As mentioned earlier, you can group related configurations into
multiple files and name them all in the |SRC_URI| statement as well.
For example, you could group separate configurations specifically
for Ethernet and graphics into their own files and add those by
using a |SRC_URI| statement like the following in your append file:
SRC_URI += "file://myconfig \
file://eth.cfg \
file://gfx.cfg"
