Yes, "make clean" destroys buildroot's .config. I have a "bsp" type directory with stuff specifically for the project I am working on. I do a sym-link from configs/beagleboard_defconfig to my bsp config. Then after a make clean I do a "make beagleboard_defconfig" to copy in my saved configuration. I also put the linux and u-boot and whatever configs in my bsp and point to the appropriate config in the buildroot .config. Dont forget to update your bsp config whenever you change buildroot with a make menuconfig. Regards, Steve
