Hi,
Except x86/x86-64 hosts, can Yocto support to run on hosts with other CPU arch, e.g. ARM, Powerpc, etc?
Best Regards,
Zhenhua

You mean as the system to run the builds on? In theory that would be
possible although most people tend to use x86 and the others aren't
tested afaik.
Cheers,
Richard

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] Yes

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] Does it make sense to log defects in YP bugzilla if issue is found on host with those CPU types?
BTW, is there a limitation for maximum parallel number of Yocto build? I don't think the number can be arbitrary.
Best Regards,
Zhenhua

We don't claim to only support x86 hosts, so yes.

Bitbake threads or make tasks? I'm not sure on the former, but for
the latter the range is effectively infinite - if make can spawn 2000
sub-makes it will (depending on the makefile). This is effectively a
fork bomb so I don't recommend it though ;)
