1 # Android Kernel Config Fragments 2 3 The files in these directories are meant to be used as a base for an Android 4 kernel config. All devices must have the options in `android-base.cfg` configured 5 as specified. If an `android-base-ARCH.cfg` file exists for the architecture of 6 your device, the options in that file must be configured as specified also. 7 8 While not mandatory, the options in `android-recommended.cfg` enable advanced 9 Android features. 10 11 Assuming you already have a minimalist defconfig for your device, a possible 12 way to enable these options would be to use the `merge_config.sh` script in the 13 kernel tree. From the root of the kernel tree: 14 15 ```sh 16 ARCH=<arch> scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh <...>/<device>_defconfig <...>/android-base.cfg <...>/android-base-<arch>.cfg <...>/android-recommended.cfg 17 ``` 18 19 This will generate a `.config` that can then be used to save a new defconfig or 20 compile a new kernel with Android features enabled. 21 22 Because there is no tool to consistently generate these config fragments, 23 lets keep them alphabetically sorted instead of random. 24
