How to get to menuconfig for u-boot in Yocto environment
I'm using Yocto for the first time for an ARM embedded system with a Xilinx Zynq. I want to make some configuration changes that requires going in the menuconfig utility. Yocto documentation shows how to do it for the Linux Kernel
bitbake yocto-xlnx -c menuconfig
Which, for Xilinx, I turned into
bitbake linux-xlnx -c menuconfig
It works very well.
Now, I want to do the same with u-boot and change the .config file using the menuconfig utility. I can't find any way to do it in Yocto or Xilinx documentation. I tried the obvious like
bitbake u-boot-xlnx -c menuconfig
just to get an error message:
ERROR: Task do_menuconfig does not exist for target u-boot-xlnx
Any Idea how to get to u-boot menuconfig with Yocto?

It's currently, as of 2.3 Pyro, not possible to run bitbake u-boot -c menuconfig as no-one has implemented that functionality for the U-Boot recipe. Please, file a bug if you'd have uses for this.
Normally, I'd recommend either of the following approaches:
bitbake u-boot -c devshell- Use of
devtool. - Use the SDK.
All of these would not only allow you to run make menuconfig, but also to cross-compile U-Boot to verify your configuration.
