At last year's FOSDEM buildroot developer meeting, we decided to support this type of scenario (see [1]). The config file should be named something like ariag25_demo_terra_defconfig. > > I'm aiming for the inclusion of both configurations, but I think the > Terra one is really too big to be in configs. Right now I created a > board/acmesystems/ariag25 folder and placed the configuration there. Support files should go into that folder, but the defconfig itself should be in configs/ Make sure that you submit the ariag25_defconfig and the ariag25_demo_terra_defconfig as separate patches, and that the first patch doesn't contain anything that isn't needed by the basic defconfig.
