How to buildroot

Hi Community

I'd like to update webkit & cog browser to see if I can solve the lagging webui using the official pi display (as mentioned here: https://github.com/hifiberry/hifiberry-os/issues/328).

If I got this right, the used buildroot version (2021.11) is not supported anymore - new webkit and cog versions are available in newer buildroot releases. Upldating buildroot seems to be complicated - so I first tried to build the current version before i change the buildroot version.

Hifiberry:I've got two questions:

- Are there any plans to update to a newer Buildroot Version?

- My azure VM with 32GB memory failed to build the current release (I ran the build only for rpi 4 and the build broke due to lack of memory) - what hardware config do you use for running the build?

Regards,

Thomas

  Yes, but there's a lot of work,

  We use around 50GB memory. However, you can build with less memory if you make sure you don't have too many available cores. You probably run with 16 or more cores. Try less cores.
