Getting away with re-downloading every thing to recompile the kernel #64

Hi,

I am trying to boot my modified Linux kernel of FPGA but every time I recompile it, the build process downloads everything from scratch. Is there any way I can use my local repository (which already is downloaded) to rebuild everything?

Thank you. Laghari

Hello,

What do you mean by "downloads everything" ? Buildroot uses the "dl" directory to store its package archives. The only way to remove those archive is with a buildroot "make distclean" command. This command is not called in the cva6-sdk makefile.
