Hi folks,
For my EndThesis, in the Niederrhein University of
Applied Sciences, I've almost finished a framework
that generates a .config file based on the target
system.This program should help people to generate a
linux kernel Config without spending a lot of time at
the configuration.
The basic idea of the framework is, that you can
specify in the Kconfig files a script which
auto-detect if the hardware involved in this option is
present or not (the script reply 'y' or 'n'). It's up
to the interface to choose what to do with the answer.
This framework is now in its test stage. It works on
my Acer Laptop(TM291LMI with Pentium M and Radeon
9700). That means, that the framework is functional
but additional scripts have to be written for other
type
of hardware/functionality (far away from completed).
The code of this framework has been splitted into six
patches (to be posted following to this mail):
- conf.c and expr.h
- parser
- makefile
- rules
- kconfigs
- documentation
To try it, just patch a 2.6.13 kernel with the patches
following this
mail and set the scripts as follow: chmod u+rwx
scripts/kconfig/rules/*
Then, just type: 'make autoconfig' or 'make
autochoiceconfig'.
The 'autoconfig' will detect your hardware and
automatically include in the kernel whatever hardware
is detected. The 'autochoiceconfig' will let you
choose to include the feature or not when a hardware
is detected.
Any comments and suggestions are welcome !

Ahmad Reza Cheraghi

Can you put this patch set on any server?
I know it's probably my thunderbird problem, but when I'm tring
to apply your patches I've got:
patch: **** malformed patch at line 38: 128);

Unfortunately your patches are wordwraped.

Consider also 'm'odule support?

I think the point of a script is just to detect if the piece of hardware
is here or not ('y' or 'n'). Then, it's up to the interface to decide
what question to ask to the user (could be always 'y', could be always
'm', could ask the user for a 'm/y/n' answer, ...).
But the patches that Ahmad sent have been spoiled by his mailer, I think
he will resend it today (maybe creating a fresh thread would be a good
idea).
