benchmark for yocto build machine

This project includes a jenkins pipeline file for a yocto build. This pipeline can be used for a build of minimal yocto image and allows you to compare different build machine and setups of your machine.

The build contains following stages:

#	name	decription
1	clone sources	clone the yocto sources from github
1	fetch sources	download all required sources for the yocto build. This step ensures that a slow download does not affect the build time measurement.
1	build image	build yocto image

parameter

You can specify a download path for downloaded source packages and git repositorys. This saves time in case of multiple calls of the benchmark.
