'How to limit memory usage in yocto bitbake?

When building some packages, I found OOM in dmesg.

The build process was killed and terminated.

Anyway to set up memory usage limitations?

yocto

Solution 1:^[1]

Easiest way for me is to specify the number of concurrent tasks running when building with

$ BB_NUMBER_THREADS=2 bitbake <target>

Where 2 is the number of concurrent build processes running.

You can also set this in your local.conf. Here's another answer on the topic.
