Re: How to select defconfig for kernel build with yocto/bitbake

["Dr. Markus Eich" <markus.eich@dfki.de>]

Thank you Sathish for the quick answer.

The recipes now copies odroidxu_ubuntu_defconfig to defconfig in the 
workdir, but it still seems to be ignored.
Maybe I am missing some includes to make the .config from defconfig?

Using "make odroidxu_ubuntu_defconfig" using cross compiling (followed 
by "make zImage") works fine, while bitbake virtual/kernel produces some 
errors which are probably due to the wrong .config.


Cheers,

Markus
