Sweeten your Yocto Build Times with Icecream
Presenter:Joshua Watt, Garmin International
Summary:
Yocto takes a considerable amount of time to build complex systems and hence,
a lot of time is spent waiting for builds to complete.One method of accelerating these
builds is to use a distributed compiler such as Icecream. The presenter discusses the
current state of Icecream support in Yocto, pros and cons of using Icecream, typical
configurations, as well as tips, tricks, and quirks he has learned while using Icecream.
