![]() The idea of the base class dependency is to say "yes, I need a C cross compiler" and this was never meant to be gcc specific. Looking at the codebase, whilst we code triplets into this, it does overcomplicate things as there are only ever limited, "target", "sdk" and the class extended versions like mutlilib. After much thought, we can simplify this to virtual/cross-cc and virtual/nativesdk-cross-cc. This lets us remove the "gcc" specific element as well as removing the over complicated triplet usage. At the same time, change the much less widely used "g++" variant to "c++" for similar reasons and remove the triplet from virtual/XXX-binutils too. Backwards compatibility mappings could be left but are just going to confuse things in future so we'll just require users to update. This simplification, whilst disruptive for any toolchain focused layers, will make improved toolchain selection in the future much easier. Since we no longer have overlapping variables, some code for that can just be removed. The class extension code does need to start remapping some variables but not the crosssdk target recipe names. This patch is in two pieces, this one handles the renaming with the functional changes separate in a second for easier review even if this breaks bisection.

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.
