I want the AV7110 firmware to be compiled into the driver.
But I don't seem to be able to make it do that. I tried editing the
linux/drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/Kconfig file and changed the default value
of DVB_AV7110_FIRMWARE_FILE to point to my firmware file's location,
Use make menuconfig or make xconfig and then set the options like you would
if you were compilig the kernel.
Actually that's what I want to avoid.

I want to use an automated process

So want you really want to know is how to setup an automated process to
give you a special configuration?  That's totally different than compiling
the firmware into the driver.

Well, you're right, sorry about that.

You could just configure once, then use hg pull ; hg update to get the
latest source.  You should be able to build without re-configuring or even
re-compiling all the code that didn't change.

If you need some automated way to change the configuration.  I'd run make
allmodconfig first, then edit v4l/.config with sed/perl/whatever.  You
might be able to just use:
echo CONFIG_DVB_AV7110_FIRMWARE=y >> v4l/.config
echo CONFIG_DVB_AV7110_FIRMWARE_FILE="/firmware/file" >> v4l/.config

You might need to mantually run make_myconfig.pl after that.

Thanks, that works for me.

Just in case somebody else is interested, here's my
complete script:

make allmodconfig
rm -f v4l/.config.new
echo CONFIG_DVB_AV7110_FIRMWARE=y                                        >> v4l/.config.new
echo CONFIG_DVB_AV7110_FIRMWARE_FILE="/home/kls/vdr/firmware/FW.current" >> v4l/.config.new
cat v4l/.config >> v4l/.config.new
mv v4l/.config.new v4l/.config
(cd v4l; scripts/make_myconfig.pl)
make


Also thanks to all others who have responded to my question.

Klaus
