The ide-sdk command bootstraps the SDK from the bitbake environment before the IDE configuration is generated. In the case of the eSDK installer, the bootstrapping is performed during the installation of the eSDK installer. Running the ide-sdk plugin from an eSDK installer based setup would require skipping the bootstrapping and probably taking some other differences into account when generating the IDE configurations. This would be possible. But it will probably never be implemented, as running devtool ide-sdk directly from the bitbake environment is much more flexible. Also, some of the recent improvements that have made it into the core have the potential to make the eSDK installer obsolete at some point in the future: - bitbake-layers create-layers-setup replicates the layers - bitbake-config-build replicates the build configuration - The new sstate mirror features replicate the sstate - bblock locks the sstate more flexible than the eSDK installer - devtool ide-sdk bootstraps the SDK directly from the bitbake environment. The same environment-setup... file is provided with --mode=shared. The devtool modify based workflow is supported since always by devtool and also the default --mode of devtool ide-sdk. These functions essentially cover what the eSDK installer does without a need for the current implementation of the eSDK installer and the populate_sdk_ext, which is hard to maintain and takes a lot of time to build. This means that instead of making the ide-sdk plugin compatible with the eSDK installer, we should rather replace the current implementation of the eSDK installer and populate_sdk_ext with an implementation that can replicate a normal bitbake environment in a convenient way where the ide-sdk plugin also just works without additional complexity.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a pre-packaged build system and development environment which is used as a development and validation tool by the Yocto Project. It features support for building customised embedded style device images and custom containers. There are reference demo images ranging from X11/GTK+ to Weston, commandline and more. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK suitable for IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of BSP layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. Many layers are available and can be found through the layer index.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation, the 'meta-yocto' layer which has configuration and hardware support components. These components are all part of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded ecosystems.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/
OpenEmbedded is the build architecture used by Poky and the Yocto project. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website.

Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
OpenEmbedded-Core (files in meta/, meta-selftest/, meta-skeleton/, scripts/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
- Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
BitBake (files in bitbake/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
- Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Documentation (files in documentation/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
- Mailing list: docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto
- Mailing list: poky@lists.yoctoproject.org
If in doubt, check the openembedded-core git repository for the content you intend to modify as most files are from there unless clearly one of the above categories. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current git repository branch in question.
