[yocto] menuconfig vs. config fragments?

[Rifenbark, Scott M]

Jim,

This needs to be fixed in the BSP Guide.  I will handle that.

Thanks,
Scott

This would be the key part, since as a few noted, .cfg is what
triggers the fragment
processing to actually notice the file and stack it after the base /
defined configuration.

I'm testing it now, but it sound like the problem.  So the Developer Manual uses the .cfg in the example, but the BSP Guide does not.  That's an area to fix.  Since this is critical,it needs to be pointed out, in my mind.

Adding the .cfg extension does indeed fix my problem. Thanks for the help.
