This is a really useful article, thanks. I'm new to Platform Builder and have found building an image from my osdesign to be very painful (taking 45 minutes). I'm using Platform Builder 6.0 service pack 1. As I understood it blddemo -q which runs when selecting Build/Build Solution or Build Project from within the IDE should only build the changes. So first time can take a while, but next time can be quicker if the sysgen doesn't need to run again - is that right? Anyways, if I don't make any changes and then blddemo -q it's as though a full rebuild is happening. I've copied some output from the build window below. Is this what's expected? Am I running the wrong build command? What part of the build process is the longest part?
Thanks in advance, Steve
