Topic: Custom kernel version

The content of this topic has been archived on 25 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I'm trying to build custom kernel by openwrt buildroot (https://github.com/Freescale/linux-fslc)
1) set EXTERNAL_KERNEL_TREE path to local linux source directory.
2) set KERNEL_PATCHVER:=4.1
I copy valid linux .config file to target/linux/imx6/config-4.1, but kernel build process failed at the beginning.
I found that content of openwrt kernel config-* is not complete compared to original linux .config, and I found that other part holds in file target/linux/generic/config-*
What's the approach to intergrate new kernels in openwrt?

The discussion might have continued from here.
