Buildroot has no specific configuration for the TX25 module.

You can tell Buildroot to build a kernel from vendor supplied source tree. 
Just select one of the "Custom" options, or "Local directory" in the "Kernel 
version" configuration choice.

Alternatively, you may build the kernel on your own as before, and use 
Buildroot just for the rootfs.

In any case Buildroot can't automatically build a kernel for you, since it 
lacks the required information.

Buildroot supports helper mechanisms to ease local customization of generated 
rootfs, like rootfs overlay, and post build script. See 
http://nightly.buildroot.org/manual.html#customize for more details.

Hope this helps,
