Thanks for the help. As others have said, please look at the buildstats class and the data it saves into TMPDIR/buildstats. It should do what you want and we have tools like pybootchart which can show it visually. Cheers, Richard -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Re: [yocto] Timing a recipe
"time bitbake recipe" is perfect for manual things. But I wanted to also measure the recipe times when building the entire image. I ended up creating a bbappend with new pre/post tasks for the main tasks (fetch, unpack, configure, compile, install, package). The pre task drops a timestamp file and the post task reads the file, calculates the elapsed time and logs it to a file. It's a bit clunky but it gives the information I want.
