Greetings Yocto Devolopers,
I am wondering if a build server is a good idea for Yocto Builds. In addition what specs are good for
a build server if I am to purchase one. Further more I am assuming as many cores as possible for making
the build be parallel and faster. I was also thinking as much ram as possible too, 64 GB as a minimum.
If there are any other ideas on specs for a build server that would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Nick

This has been discussed repeatedly on this list, but the rule of thumb is a
well-rounded server: as much of everything as possible, and don't bother
with SSDs.

Boris,
I am thinking of at least 32 cores or 2 e5 xeons and 64 GB of ram.
Is this enough or should I accept for even more CPU cores?
