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
