|
|
high-level introductory information suitable for a new Yocto
|
|
Project user.

<emphasis>Step-by-step Instructions for Development Tasks:</emphasis>
|
|
Instructional procedures reside in other manuals within
|
|
the Yocto Project documentation set.
|
|
For example, the
|
|
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;'>Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual</ulink>
|
|
provides examples on how to perform various development
|
|
tasks.
|
|
As another 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.

<emphasis>Reference Material:</emphasis>
|
|
This type of material resides in an appropriate reference
|
|
manual.
|
|
For example, system variables are documented in the
|
|
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;'>Yocto Project Reference Manual</ulink>.
|
|
As another example, the
|
|
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;'>Yocto Project Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's Guide</ulink>
|
|
contains reference information on BSPs.

|
|
<emphasis>Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the
|
|
Yocto Project:</emphasis>
|
|
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.
