Hi Jean-Michel! Fully agree, if a build takes 8 hours, your system isn't the system you should build on, even if it "feels" like a full PC! However, at the time, I don't have anything better to offer to Barry, seeing that Raspian AFAIK doesn't ship current GNU Radio, and setting up an OE build di

Here's what I use for the BeagleBoard X15. Should be adaptable to other boards by changing -march and -mtune. cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon -mtune=cortex-a15" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="-march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon -mtune=cortex-a15" ../

If you use a swap file, it won't crash. However, there may be a more optimum number of cores to use rather than all four. Ron On 7/31/19 14:44, Glen Langston wrote: Hi Ron, Thanks for the suggestion. My experience is that the -j4 works for a while on a Raspberry PI 3B+, but eventually runs

Hi Ron, Thanks for the suggestion. My experience is that the -j4 works for a while on a Raspberry PI 3B+, but eventually runs out of memory on some files and the whole PI crashes. -j4 might work on a 4 GB PI 4 though. Best regards, Glen On Wed, Jul 31, 2019 at 5:30 PM Ron Economos wrote: >

You can reduce build time significantly by using all the cores in your CPU. This is done by using the -j parameter with the make command. Set the parameter to the number of available cores. For the Pi 3B+, the CPU has four cores, so: make -j4 Ron On 7/31/19 10:28, Barry Duggan wrote: Hi Gle

Thanks Barry, Those are great notes. I will try to follow them. However it would be great if I could start from an image of the Sd card. One issue with SD card images is to remember to remove passwords from browsers I am also using a 32GB card, but it compressed very well, down to 2.5GB Best reg
