The --silentconfig option allows you to reuse a prior configuration. Old configurations have the file name CONFIG.old within the directory containing the specified component for unattended updates.

You can change the configurations without opening system level configuration menu. You can directly edit <plnx-proj-root>/project-spec/configs/config file and issue petalinux-config --silentconfig.

configs/config
The active configuration file that you edit directly. It contains the current Kconfig settings in key=value format
CONFIG.old
A backup/reference file automatically created when configuration changes. It stores the previous configuration state.
