The kernel workflow section was re-written to reflect that the kernel appendix has been removed. Also, changes to the flow in general no longer make reference to the bare clone and the copy of the bare clone as a method used to modify the kernel. Many links were modified in other manuals as well.

The Yocto Project presents kernels as a fully patched, history-clean Git
|
|
repositories.
|
|
Each repository represents selected features, board support,
|
|
and configurations extensively tested by the Yocto Project.
|
|
Yocto Project kernels allow the end user to leverage community
|
|
best practices to seamlessly manage the development, build and debug cycles.

This manual describes Yocto Project kernels by providing information
|
|
on history, organization, benefits, and use.
|
|
The manual consists of two sections:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para><emphasis>Concepts:</emphasis> Describes concepts behind a kernel.
|
|
You will understand how a kernel is organized and why it is organized in
|
|
the way it is. You will understand the benefits of a kernel's organization
|
|
and the mechanisms used to work with the kernel and how to apply it in your
|
|
design process.</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para><emphasis>Using a Kernel:</emphasis> Describes best practices
|
|
and "how-to" information
|
|
that lets you put a kernel to practical use.
|
|
Some examples are how to examine changes in a branch and how to
|
|
save kernel modifications.</para></listitem>
