What memory usage does the Ubuntu VM report? > Perhaps as a result, this Gumstix Overo build has completed only 760 out of > 3792 > total tasks in 21 hours -- at this rate it will complete in 5-6 days. Not used a VM to build in ages, but I used to build an image from scratch in about 10 hours running on a dual core Macbook Pro. The same build takes about 1 hour on an 8 thread i7 with 16GB RAM and SSDs for the build work area, peaking at about 10GB RAM usage with local.conf set to use 16 threads and 16 parallel makes (BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE both at 16) - later Yocto versions set these for you based on the number of cores available to the build host. Another thing to consider - if this is the first build, then you’ll be downloading a load of stuff from the internet. How fast is your connection? Subsequent builds will be much quicker as the files required will then be stored locally. > How does the user terminate Bitbake at its current stage, increase the > memory it is using, > and then restart in order to speed up this process ? > > -- > _______________________________________________ > yocto mailing list > yocto@yoctoproject.org <mailto:yocto@yoctoproject.org> > https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto > <https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto> -- Chris Tapp opensou...@keylevel.com www.keylevel.com ---- You can tell you're getting older when your car insurance gets real cheap!
