Welcome to the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual!
|
|
This manual provides relevant procedures necessary for developing
|
|
in the Yocto Project environment (i.e. developing embedded Linux
|
|
images and user-space applications that run on targeted devices).
|
|
The manual groups related procedures into higher-level sections.
|
|
Procedures can consist of high-level steps or low-level steps
|
|
depending on the topic.

This manual provides the following:

|
|
Procedures that help you get going with the Yocto Project.
|
|
For example, procedures that show you how to set up
|
|
a build host and work with the Yocto Project
|
|
source repositories.

Procedures that show you how to submit changes to the

Yocto Project.

Changes can be improvements, new features, or bug

fixes.

Procedures related to "everyday" tasks you perform while
|
|
developing images and applications using the Yocto
|
|
Project.
|
|
For example, procedures to create a layer, customize an
|
|
image, write a new recipe, and so forth.

Redundant Step-by-step Instructions:
|
|
For example, the
|
|
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_SDK_URL;'>Yocto Project Application Development and the Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK)</ulink>
|
|
manual contains detailed instructions on how to install an
|
|
SDK, which is used to develop applications for target
|
|
hardware.

Reference or Conceptual Material:
|
|
This type of material resides in an appropriate reference
|
|
manual.
|

For example, system variables are documented in the

Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the
|
|
Yocto Project:
|
|
For example, exhaustive information on how to use the
|
|
Source Control Manager Git is better covered with Internet
|
|
searches and official Git Documentation than through the
|
|
Yocto Project documentation.

Because this manual presents information for many different
|
|
topics, supplemental information is recommended for full
|
|
comprehension.

If you want to build an image with no knowledge of Yocto Project
|
|
as a way of quickly testing it out, see the
