+## Step-by-step guide to adding a Kconfig
+
+Follow these steps:
+
+1. Make sure you have read the above Configuration section
+
+2. Add your config to one of zephyr/Kconfig* files. Note the PLATFORM_EC_ prefix
+ and try to put it near related things:
+
+ ```kconfig
+ config PLATFORM_EC_CHARGER_BQ25720
+ bool "TI BQ25720 charger"
+ help
+ The TI BQ25720 is a blah blah (describe summary from datasheet,
+ at least 3 lines so take 10 minutes to write something truly useful)
+ ```
+
+ Consider a `depends on PLATFORM_EC_...` line if it depends on an existing
+ feature.
+
+3. Add to zephyr/shim/include/config_chip.h (put it at the bottom):
+
+ ```kconfig
+ #undef CONFIG_CHARGER_BQ25720
+ #ifdef CONFIG_PLATFORM_EC_CHARGER_BQ25720
+ #define CONFIG_CHARGER_BQ25720
+ #endif
+ ```
+
+4. Add the source file to zephyr/CMakeLists.txt if it is not already there. For
+ ordering check the comments in that file:
+
+ `zephyr_sources_ifdef(CONFIG_PLATFORM_EC_CHARGER_BQ25720
+ "${PLATFORM_EC}/driver/charger/bq25720.c")`
+
+5. Run a build on a board that enables the new CONFIG (in config.h) to make sure
+ there are no problems.
+
+6. If it doesn't work, please email zephyr-task-force@ or file a bug and assign
+ it to sjg@, cc zephyr-task-force@ (please include CL link and the error
+ output).
