  8. Edit custom script in scripts/ if required.

  9. Commit the changes.

  10. Build in CircleCi will automatically start (if configured correctly, check for orange dot next to commit in GitHub)

  11. Cache is enabled, i.e. toolchains and packages will be cached for faster subsequent compilations (~20mins).

  12. To clear the cache, change $CACHE value in .circleci/config.yml

Issues

  • You might come across a kernel config prompt (when verbosity is set), just ignore it with either Y or N, or you can build without verbosity to avoid this prompt.
