NAME

       kas-menu - kas menu plugin

SYNOPSIS

          kas menu [-h] [kconfig]

DESCRIPTION

       Provides a configuration menu and triggers the build of the choices.

       This plugin implements the kas menu command.

       When  this  command  is  executed,  kas will open a configuration menu as described by a Kconfig file. It
       processes any pre-existing configuration file with  saved  settings,  stores  the  final  selections  and
       invokes the build plugin if requested by the user.

       To  make  use  of  this  plugin,  a  Kconfig  file has to be provided. The menu can define these types of
       configuration variables that the plugin will translate into a kas configuration:

          • kas configuration files that will be included when building the generated configuration.  Those  are
            picked up from kconfig string variables that have the name prefix KAS_INCLUDE_.

          • bitbake  targets  that  shall  be  built  via the generated configuration.  Those are picked up from
            kconfig string variables that have the name prefix KAS_TARGET_.

          • The build_system that will used. The static kconfig string variable  KAS_BUILD_SYSTEM  defines  this
            value which must be openembedded, oe or isar is set.

          • bitbake configuration variables that will be added to the local_conf_header section of the generated
            configuration. All other active kconfig string, integer or hex variables are treated as such.

       See  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/kbuild/kconfig-language.html  for a complete documentation of
       the Kconfig language.

       The menu plugin writes the selected configuration to a .config.yaml file in the kas  work  directory  and
       also  reads previous selection from such a file if it exists. The .config.yaml both contains the selected
       configuration in the menu_configuration key and also the effective settings that can be  used  to  invoke
       kas build or other kas commands.
