How Do I Save My Kernel Configuration As The Default Settings?

[freewaymad]

Hi,

How do I save my kernel configuration as the default settings? I use this:

$ make menuconfig

I save the settings when asked, but how do I make them the default settings so I don't have to keep going back and setting it all up again? When I build a kernel the settings are saved, but when I build a boot.img or do a:

$ make distclean

the settings revert back to what they were originally. What am I missing? Please help.

Thanks,

Problem Solved!!

I went through the process of setting up to build a kernel. I then entered the following commands:

$ make distclean

$ make imx6_android_defconfig

$ make menuconfig

After getting all my settings the way I wanted them, instead of exiting all the way to the "save settings yes or no", I exited to the main or home screen and hit the

"Save an Alternate Configuration File". Then I named the file. This was saved in the "kernel_imx" directory (by default). I went into the kernel_imx/arch/arm/configs folder and renamed the "imx6_defconfig" and "imx6_android_defconfig" files to "original_ imx6_defconfig" and "original_imx6_android_defconfig" (to keep the originals). I then took the Alternate Configuration file in the kernel_imx directory and copied the contents and created my own "imx6_defconfig" and "imx6_android_defconfig" files in the kernel_imx/arch/arm/configs folder. Now my settings are saved as the default settings (unless I go through this process again). I now can build a "rom" or a "boot.img". I can do a:

$ make distclean

and then:

$ make imx6_android_defconfig

I do not have to use the:

$ make menuconfig

to reset my settings.
