Hi,
Can someone please recommend some good machine for yocto environment and
building sdks. I am interested in RAM, hard disk space, processor.
I use a AMD FX-8350 4GHz Eight-Core Processor on a GA-78LMT-USB3 mainboard with
32GB RAM and a couple of 4TB drives, running Ubuntu 16.04.03 LTS.
I have a similar spec, except I use an SSD for the build area and only 16GB RAM
(I don’t see more than about 12GB used during a build) - a build from scratch
(excluding download time) takes just under an hour.
I am toying with putting an SSD in there. I use the Samsung Evo 1TB
units for day to day on my laptop and that has worked very well for me.
Maybe I should move that forward.
16GB is no doubt absolutely fine in general. I suppose in part it may
depend on how many tasks are executing in parallel on the CPU cores.
I find a very few recipes are _real_ memory hogs. I imagine I could get
by with less RAM but Chromium and possibly Qt5 stick in the mind as
having intermittent build issues when the RAM was lower.
Cheers!
Alex
