The Challenge

The source-code consists of multiple components: the basic Linux-kernel, the control-plane, data-plane code, tool-chains and third party packages. All of these will be built one after the other for specified hardware target/controller and the complete time taken to produce a final build image is the build time.

Key Challenges

1

Sequential build process inefficiency

2

Multiple component dependencies

3

Long build times

4

Hardware target-specific builds

Our Approach

Optimized build process by parallelizing component builds, optimizing dependencies, and implementing build caching to significantly reduce build time.

Implementation Steps

Build Analysis

Analyze current build process and bottlenecks

Parallelization

Implement parallel build processes

Dependency Optimization

Optimize component dependencies

Build Caching

Implement build caching mechanisms

Outcomes

Successfully optimized build time through parallelization and dependency optimization.
