The compilation and installation of the Yocto version of SEAPATH is entirely described on the GitHub repository seapath/yocto-bsp.

The build of Yocto based SEAPATH require significant ressources because the entire Linux distribution is built from the source code.

In order to build efficiently the SEAPATH project, we recommend not to use Virtual Machine. The Yocto project will ensure to multi-thread your build, so try to use a build machine with many CPU cores.

Here is a discussion on the Yocto Project mailing list: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/topic/72047879#48815

Tips for building

• About 250GB is needed for building SEAPATH.
• A USB attached storage may be too slow to be practical for a successful build.
• Ensure you use an ext 2/ ext3 / ext4 filesystem for the build directory. NTFS will not work.
• Watch out with only manually deleting the /tmp/work directory. Instead delete the whole tmp directory.
• When deleting the tmp, it may take a very long time, and might cause rm -rf to fail with an error. find . -delete will work better, as it will not try to index all files before deleting them.

Debian Installer

To install the cluster, you need to generate an ISO, based on Debian 11, for each host with this repository here.
