I had setup at least two buildbots building OE images. For testing of Linaro toolchain it can be used too I think. If buildbot has ability to pull bzr for changes then you can get automatic tests after each commit/merge. > Just to give you an overview.

BB_NUMBER_THREADS=12 PARALLEL_MAKE=8 Or other values for them and your machine will have most of CPU time in use. First one control how many BitBake threads are called at same time, second is given as "-jX" argument to make. With both used you do not have to wait as there is always something to do (up to moment when do_rootfs is called as this is usually last task). INHERIT += "rm_work" This will remove contents of WORKDIR after recipe's build. With this enabled (and downloads outsite of tmp/) you can probably fit in tmpfs on your machine. _______________________________________________ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
