The Yocto Project Overview and Concepts Manual
|

**********************************************
|

|
|
Welcome
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the Yocto Project Overview and Concepts Manual! This manual
|
|
introduces the Yocto Project by providing concepts, software overviews,
|
|
best-known-methods (BKMs), and any other high-level introductory
|
|
information suitable for a new Yocto Project user.
|
|
|
|
The following list describes what you can get from this manual:
|
|
|
|
- `Introducing the Yocto Project <#overview-yp>`__\ *:* This chapter
|
|
provides an introduction to the Yocto Project. You will learn about
|
|
features and challenges of the Yocto Project, the layer model,
|
|
components and tools, development methods, the
|
|
:term:`Poky` reference distribution, the
|
|
OpenEmbedded build system workflow, and some basic Yocto terms.
|
|
|
|
- `The Yocto Project Development
|
|
Environment <#overview-development-environment>`__\ *:* This chapter
|
|
helps you get started understanding the Yocto Project development
|
|
environment. You will learn about open source, development hosts,
|
|
Yocto Project source repositories, workflows using Git and the Yocto
|
|
Project, a Git primer, and information about licensing.
|
|
|
|
- :doc:`/overview-manual/concepts` *:* This
|
|
chapter presents various concepts regarding the Yocto Project. You
|
|
can find conceptual information about components, development,
|
|
cross-toolchains, and so forth.
|
|
|
|
This manual does not give you the following:
|
|
|
|
- *Step-by-step Instructions for Development Tasks:* Instructional
|
|
procedures reside in other manuals within the Yocto Project
|
|
documentation set. For example, the :doc:`/dev-manual/index`
|
|
provides examples on how to perform
|
|
various development tasks. As another example, the
|
|
:doc:`/sdk-manual/index` manual contains detailed
|
|
instructions on how to install an SDK, which is used to develop
|
|
applications for target hardware.
|
|
|
|
- *Reference Material:* This type of material resides in an appropriate
|
|
reference manual. For example, system variables are documented in the
|
|
:doc:`/ref-manual/index`. As another
|
|
example, the :doc:`/bsp-guide/index` contains reference information on
|
|
BSPs.
|
|
|
|
- *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.
|
|
|
|
Other Information
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Because this manual presents information for many different topics,
|
|
supplemental information is recommended for full comprehension. For
|
|
additional introductory information on the Yocto Project, see the
|
|
:yocto_home:`Yocto Project Website <>`. If you want to build an image
|
|
with no knowledge of Yocto Project as a way of quickly testing it out,
|
|
see the :doc:`/brief-yoctoprojectqs/index` document.
|
|
For a comprehensive list of links and other documentation, see the
|
|
":ref:`Links and Related
|
|
Documentation <resources-links-and-related-documentation>`"
|

section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
