Is there a yocto image build service with Toradex?

My build machine failed to build an image with chromium added…May be because of the lack of memory. (16GB reccomended/ 4GB available)

Hi @dw-seag

No, Unfortunately we don’t provide any Build service. We recommend a 64-bit machine with at least 8GB for OpenEmbedded Builds.

Which host distribution are using? Which errors did you get?

You can try these steps to overcome the low memory issue:

  • boot to console mode on your host and then launch the build.
  • limit parallel builds and threads:
    BB_NUMBER_THREADS ?= “1”
    PARALLEL_MAKE ?= “”

If this does not help, then you should add some more RAM to your build machine.

Best regards,
Jaski

Had the same problem on my Ubuntu (18.04) build machine with 8GB RAM. I increased the swap file size to 16GB (from 2GB) and was able to build the image. It probably takes a lot longer, so I will just add some RAM soon.

Thanks for you Input.
