Based on the context provided, the issue with the BSP7 on the Colibri IMX8X where the menuconfig command fails to function properly in the Yocto shell is acknowledged. The ncurses window opens briefly and then quits without displaying any error messages. A temporary workaround is to run the menuconfig command from the devshell using bitbake -c devshell virtual/kernel, which allows it to function correctly. However, this does not resolve the issue with the diffconfig command, which requires manual generation of the .cfg file.

The potential cause of this issue is suspected to be an upstream bug in the downstream linux-toradex recipes, as similar functionality works correctly for U-Boot and on the IMX6ULL platform, which uses the upstream kernel. This suggests a possible regression or compatibility issue introduced in the BSP7 implementation for the Colibri IMX8X.

Further investigation or a patch may be required to resolve this issue. If additional information or assistance is needed, it is recommended to reach out for further support.
