Building an image

Hi there, can someone comment on usually how long it takes to build an image?  I know there are several factors at play - but what are some times people have gotten in making an SD card image with a clean build.

 

Just trying to set expectations - I am on a quad core 1.5GZ machine with 8 gigs of ram on SSD.

 

Thanks

starting fresh without cache.. probably an hourish for that setup..... once you have toolchain and rootfs cache... more like 15 minutes

got these times with a Core2Duo 2.4GHz, 8GB Ram but with a normal 7200rpm HDD

 

Image for a - to the cache - new device around 60-75 minutes.

for a device in cache around 15-25 minutes.

Sometimes it takes an insane amount of time to download the toolchains and rootfs when you run the script for the first time, keep that in mind. 


USE_TORRENT="yes" might help in both cases. I always get maxed out download speed.

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep that in mind, it will definitely come in handy sooner or later. 


You are welcome. In case you have some storage and spare bandwidth:

Hi, so in the last 2 days or so, whenever I try to build for the nanopi m4, I get a new prompt for what looks like kernel config items.  Even though I am choosing to use default kernel config. So I thought it was my issue somehow, I got rid of the vagrant image and completely re-downloaded everything, once the compressing if the linux kernel finishes, I get the prompts and I am certainly not sure what options to pick. 

 

Is there any guidance you can provide? 

 

Thanks.

Upstream sources were severely changed and I am fixing patches for the past two days ... wait or help.
