Do the following :
mkdir board/bruce_company/bruce_product/linux
cp ALL_YOUR_PATCHES board/bruce_company/bruce_product/linux
All patches must have filenames that start with "linux-".
Then, run make menuconfig, and use the following options :
Kernel
-> Linux Kernel
-> Kernel version (Custom version)
-> (2.6.XX) Kernel version
-> (board/bruce_company/bruce_product/linux) Custom kernel patches
Of course, make sure your patches match the selected kernel version.
Then, in order to save your configuration and make it a default :
make savedefconfig
mv defconfig configs/bruce_product_defconfig
Now, you can build Buildroot with:
make bruce_product_defconfig
make
Regards,
Thomas
