Hi,

I am a noob to RTEMS. Currently working on developing an RTEMS 4.11 BSP for a new SOC based on ARM926EJS.

for new BSPs I strongly recommend to use the master branch and not a release.

I have taken lpc32xx_mzx as the reference BSP and I was able to successfully build the BSP in Ubuntu 16.04 using the steps in
RTEMS user manual.

Good.
Below is the time taken for completing each step in BSP building:
1. bootstrapping takes 20 mins,

If your Ubuntu machine has only one processor, then it is not much you can do to speed things up.

You can use the sb-bootstrap command of the RSB:

https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/installation/kernel.html#bootstrapping

2. configuring takes 3 mins

It is not much you can do to speed things up here. I guess you have a slow mass storage.

3. make takes 18 mins
4. install takes 4 mins

You can try to do a parallel build, e.g.

make -j $(nproc)


When I give a make after adding some changes in the start.S file, the changes are not reflected in the hello.exe sample. I need to give a clean and then a make to have the changes reflect in the hello.exe, as a result, each make takes 18 mins
which is very huge compared to other builds like u-boot.

Is there a way that I can reduce this build time?

The RTEMS master is a bit faster if you do a parallel build. I would develop BSPs outside the main RTEMS sources and when everything is finished integrate it in the RTEMS tree.

Thanks in advance for all your support.

*Thank you & Regards,*
