Description Mariano Lopez 2017-02-09 15:57:03 UTC

get_bb_var uses bitbake -e to fetch variables, this consumes about 7 seconds to get a variable. It exists get_bb_vars that gets a list of variables in just one bitbake -e run, so if there are two or more get_bb_var together it would be possible to use this function instead.
