Any one know how to add drivers when using the SDK

Hi I have followed the setup, where it suggests using the “make menu_config” in buildroot folder but when I go on and build the image step by step it clears the config files and I get a standard build. No additionally drivers added? I particularly wont to add wifi to make a wifi to ethernet bridge.

Hi, I had the same problem, the solution (for me) was to run “make” after selecting and saving the changes in menuconfig, this compilation fails, but the packages compiled, then I re-ran the manual compilation steps described on the page.

You can check this link for more details.

  1. As you already mentioned, you go to the buildroot directory and run menuconfig as below.
cd buildroot/output/{board_name}
 make menuconfig
  1. To make this new configuration ‘permanent’, you also have to run below
make savedefconfig

Now the defconfig in buildroot/configs/{board}_defconfig is permanently modified.

tried it and if I go up to the SDK folder and run build_all and pack_sd_image none of the things I added in make menuconfig and make savedefconfig are added. I’m going to try up dating from github. I’m using docker to compile.
