[yocto] Recommended Hardware for building

[Oliver Novakovic]

Dear all,

 

since we are using Yocto in our projects, I'd like to set up a dedicated
Build PC or server for the Yocto build tasks (including Jenkins).

 

Can anyone recommend a reasonable performant hardware setup to use ?

What should be considered ? Are there any pitfalls ? What about
bottlenecks in the build system ?

 

Specifically:

How many cores are recommended ? And how much cache is necessary ?
How much of the main memory does Yocto really use ? Is 32 GB sufficient
or should I go for 64 ?

Does it make sense to use two SSDs as Raid0  to get builds faster ?

 

Any hints, recommendations or links to further reading will be highly
appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Oliver
