We don't add a larger thread number by default, but it might be good to set it '5' by default (assuming a dual core processor with hyperthreading) instead of '1' (assuming a single core system w/o threading). I don't know if this will cause any compatibility issues on older systems, but it's worth a check. > > At this time, MinnowBoard 3 build is only validated in Windows. That's why there is no equivalent .sh file for BuildBIOS yet, but it will be added once Linux build is verified and checked in. I'm more about _fixing_ issues I find rather than reporting them! Are you saying that patches wouldn't be welcome just now? Is there a reason why you don't want to make full use of the CPU while building? And I understand that MinnowBoard 3 only builds under Windows at the moment, but if more of it built using python (and python is already listed as a prerequisite in the ReadMe file) the porting might be simpler. -- Rebecca
