config file is not updating after doing menuconfig

[chandraevolute]

I am having imx6ulevk board using this git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b imx-3.14.38-6UL_ga repo.

I am doing bitbake -c menuconfig linux-imx, I am disabling LCD, Video, FB and Sound drivers, Keybaord . when I check the .config file still these are set to "y". these are some of the configs. Why this is happening.

CONFIG_KEYBOARD_GPIO=y

CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SNVS_PWRKEY=y

CONFIG_KEYBOARD_IMX=y

CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=m

CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH=y

CONFIG_FB=y

CONFIG_FB_MXS=y

CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT=y

CONFIG_LCD_CLASS_DEVICE=y

CONFIG_LCD_L4F00242T03=y

CONFIG_LCD_PLATFORM=y

CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=y

CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_PWM=y

CONFIG_FB_MXC_SYNC_PANEL=y

CONFIG_FB_MXC_LDB=y

CONFIG_FB_MXC_MIPI_DSI_SAMSUNG=y

CONFIG_FB_MXC_TRULY_WVGA_SYNC_PANEL=y

CONFIG_FB_MXC_HDMI=y

CONFIG_FB_MXC_EINK_PANEL=y

CONFIG_FB_MXC_EINK_V2_PANEL=y

CONFIG_FB_MXS_SII902X=y

And also when i try top copy this config file ../sources there is no linux-imx -3.14.38 instead i have 3.14.28 sources and bb files. you an see the list of files below present.

Edit 1 :

I found that linux-imx -3.14.38.bb is present in meta-fsl-bsp-release/imx/meta-bsp

below is my bb layer conf

LCONF_VERSION = "6"

BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"

BSPDIR := "${@os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(d.getVar('FILE', True)) + '/../..')}"

BBFILES ?= ""

When I do bitbake linu-imx th .sdcard image is showing aroung 880 MB... Is it common?

[chandraevolute]

Will try these commands SaurabhPatel​ and let you know the result

Thanks

[saurabh206 · Accepted solution]

bitbake linux-imx -c menuconfig

You can copy .config to my_custom_deficonf

linux-imx_3.14.38.bb

do_configure_prepend() {

   cp ${S}/arch/arm/configs/my_custom_deficonf  ${S}/.config

   cp ${S}/arch/arm/configs/my_custom_deficonf  ${S}/../defconfig

}

If I try to build freshly by removing the previous build directory I am getting below errors

You can run following command sequences

bitbake -f -c clean <package_name>

bitbake -f -c compile <package_name>

[chandraevolute]

Hi saurabh206​ i downloaded the fresh package.

Now i am able to compile the kernel.

But still when i do bitbake linu-imx -c menuconfig i am unable to generate the modifed image. config file is not chnaging.

[chandraevolute]

Hi saurabh206​thank you

I followed the below steps

1. bitbake linux-imx -c menuconfig

2. After doing menuconfig copy the .conig to ../defconfig

3. later copy that .config to (build_dir)/work-shared/imx6ulevk/kernel-source/arch/arm/configs/imx_v7_defconfig and imx_v6_v7_defconfig.

it worked

[saurabh206]

Good You are able to solve your issue.

[chandraevolute]

again I am getting the same error

Tomorrow I am going to do a fresh copy of entire project and let you know the result by monday

[chandraevolute]

I checked the linux-imx_3.14.38.bb file and the lines were already added.

my question is why the changes are not reflecting in .config file.

When we do bitbake linux-imx -c menuconfig

the configuration is saved in .config file, but whatever i removed were also marked as "y" inside the .config file.
