device tree and config file

device tree and config file

Hi all,
How does device tree file pick up node entries for modules enabled by "make
menuconfig"(or just "CONFIG_XX=y "in ,config), which are not part of
defconfig. Or If you enable a new module you have to write new device tree
entries manually?

-- 
Thank you
Warm Regards
Anuz

device tree files and kernel build configuration files are totally
different things and control independant things.

One is a run time definition of the hardware resources for your system
for when you boot a kernel, and the other is what features and driver
selection you wish to select for when you build a kernel.

Hope this helps,
