[Discuss OpenCPI] Long Core and Assets Build Times

I'm working with OpenCPI and have a project that will require several iterations of changes to OpenCPI functionality and to the core and assets projects. Since the core and assets projects need to get recopied and rebuilt for each iteration, this will turn into a time consuming process. For instance, just building the projects once took almost 5 hours on an 8th generation i7 with 32 GB of RAM! The problem is multiplied due to the fact that I have many colleagues that will also have to perform the same process.

Is there any way to speed up this build process? Can the build system utilize more threads? Are there pieces that do not need to be rebuilt for future generations of OpenCPI? Can I copy the pre-compiled projects to other computers and register them? I'm welcome to any feedback or help on this issue.

Thanks,
Andrew Lippolis
