Hi! I have tried to build an image a couple of times now - but all failed. A year ago it was easy - I found an article where all steps were described and worked. Unfortunately I do not have the old VirtualBox Ubuntu image any longer, so I have to create a new. But this time I only find incomplete articles or articles that create errors or are outdated and hard to update. I believe there must exist an article that describe a way to successfully create an image. I simply cannot find one... Please help! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Great to hear that things build for you both now. And, yes, any improvements on documentations or additional how-tos are welcome!, TIA! The typical "cold" yocto build (kas doesn't contribute to this) on a decent machine as you described takes that much, yes. Our CI system with 48 cores and much more RAM can only bring it down to 40-50 minutes. If you rebuild, though, most steps come from a previously created cache, thus this significant acceleration. Again, a yocto feature. Regarding customized images: If you check the kas documentation (http://kas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/userguide.html), you'll find also a way to bitbake again: kas shell. This allows you to interact with bitbake as before but inside the kas-defined build environment. That is for ad-hoc modifications of the kas-defined target image. The proper and archiveable way to extend it, though, is to create an own layer on top of meta-iot2000-example. That layer should contain its own kas file as well that references the desired upstream version of meta-iot2000, something like this:
