Long build times
Added by Nathan Olson 9 days ago
Hello,
I am extending the BSP with my own layer. It seems like whenever I make a change, a lot of unrelated files get recompiled (for example cameradlkm-1.0.qcom-r0, qcom-displaydlkm-git-r0, qcom-pal-git-r0, qcacld-wlan-git-r0, ...). This takes a long time and seems unnecessary. Is there a way I can avoid this?
Each time I build a run a script that contains the following:
export EXTRALAYERS="meta-mitysom-qc6490-5430-devkit meta-qcom-qim-product-sdk meta-my-layer"
MACHINE=qcs6490-mitysom-devkit DISTRO=qcom-wayland QCOM_SELECTED_BSP=custom source setup-environment
bitbake qcom-multimedia-image

Hi Nathan,
We have similar experiences. Unfortunately we do not currently have a fix. We are building off of Qualcomm's methodology and there is a lot of complexity there that we haven't needed to dig into yet. We will update this issue if we do find a solution.
As a frame of reference, a clean build typically takes ~1-2 hours on my setup, while a rebuild takes ~10 minutes. Please let me know if you're not seeing the same relative difference in clean build vs rebuild, in case I'm misunderstanding what you're dealing with.
Thanks,
Greg

That matches what I'm seeing, although it seems your machine is much faster than mine. For me it's about 7 hours for a clean build, and 28 minutes for a rebuild.
