I dont think there is a page anywhere. This is as rough as it can get on the two machine that I have not including the time it takes to download the source files. HP 2.8GHz core i-7 dual core hyper threaded machine with a 5400 rpm disk: BB_NUM_THREADS = "8" PARALLEL_MAKE = "8" core image minimal 2.5 hours core image sato 5 hours core image sdk 8-10 hours A build machine - Core i7-3960X 3.3 GHz - 6 cores hyperthreaded, with an SSD for build output and a 7200 rpm 6.0 Gbps claiming HDD for downloads, poky, whatever BB_NUM_THREADS = "24" PARALLEL_MAKE = "24" core image minimal 27 minutes core image sato 58-62 minutes core image sdk 110-120 minutes OS was always Ubuntu 11.10 - xubuntu on HP laptop, server in build machine. > I need a faster build platform, but want to get a reasonable price / > performance balance ;-) > > I'm looking at something like an i7-2700K but am not yet tied... The build machine cost about $3500 or so from tiger direct/newegg It was well worth it - instead of doing nightly builds, I can now do a clean build in under one hour. _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
