To get started with a basic config that works on the SBC, you could take a look
in the arch/arm/configs subdirectory to see if there's already a config defined
for your target device. To apply your chosen config (ts7400_defconfig, for my
example), type something like:
# make ts7400_defconfig
(This assumes your cross-compilation environment is already set up correctly,
by the way)
Then you should be able to add extra options using
# make menuconfig
