Tool/software:
Yocto build requires good internet connection, large storage space, large ddr memory on host pc and strong CPU. For small groups without a strong server, building yocto on a portable device like a removable disk and sharing between all co-workers can be an option.
Here explains how to build yocto on a removable disk and how to use the disk with a built yocto inside for other pc.
For yocto initial builder:
First of all, the external disk must be formatted as ext4. After plugging in the disk through usb port, the disk is likely to be auto mounted to /media/USER/{disk name}. Note that building yocto will always add your USER name into its generated makefile and environment configuration files. To avoid that, do remember to umount the disk and remount it to somewhere unrelated with your username like /opt
After the remounting, build yocto as normal.
For using disk on other PC:
Because the path is already written into the yocto project in the external disk, the mounting point should be the same as the initial yocto builder. So you should also umount the disk from the default mounting point and remount it to the same mounting point the initial builder uses.
Note: You can use docker to make the same.
You can also reach to the local FAE of processor if you have trouble building yocto and want someone to build it for you.
